Speed Dating Ages 50s-60s at Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Farm Market
Sunday, July 5, 2026, 3 PM - 5 PM.
This is your excuse to get out, look good, grab a drink, and actually connect with people face to face. No more endless texting and never meeting in-person, no more guessing...just a fun, social night where you can talk, laugh, flirt, and see what happens.
Sips and Sparks speed dating events are designed to feel natural and effortless. It's everything you wish dating apps felt like... but in real life.
Your ticket also includes a complimentary Lyman's Own non-alcoholic apple cider pint and a delicious apple cider donut — the perfect pairing to enjoy!
(Just a heads up, this venue doesn’t serve alcohol.)
This event will take place outdoors at the Apple Barrel Farm Market patio.
Note on Age Range: while this event is geared toward the age range listed in the title, it's not a strict rule. If you feel like you'd vibe with this crowd, you're welcome to join. Our goal is always to create a well-balanced group where connections actually make sense.
How the Evening Unfolds
Start with a Social Mixer: Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab your cider donut and apple cider pint, settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.
Easy, Guided Conversations: We keep things flowing so you don't have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.
Quick, Real Connections: You'll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It's light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.
Match the Ones You're Into: After each round, simply mark "friend," "date," or "none" on our easy matching system. If it's mutual, we'll send you each other's info the next day.
A Few Things to Know
Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections – either way, it's a great night.
Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.
