Saturday is singles coastal and outdoor activities, games, new connections and Speed Dating — followed by Love Éire After Dark Party.

LOVE ÉIRE COASTAL ADVENTURES & SPEED DATING ❤️Saturday 5 September 2026 | Dún Laoghaire, Coastal Dublin

You’re halfway into the weekend… and this is where the adventure really begins. 🌊❤️

Day 2 of Love Éire is a full day of coastal experiences, outdoor adventures, games, new connections and Speed Dating — followed by Love Éire After Dark.

It’s designed to help you meet people naturally throughout the day, before bringing things into a more structured setting in the evening.

🌊 FIRST: COASTAL ADVENTURES

📍 Dún Laoghaire & Dublin Coast

🌿 Coastal experiences

🏰 Castle experience

🎲 Games & group activities

🌊 Outdoor adventures & sea views

Get outside and experience Ireland together.

Explore the coast, take part in shared activities, play some games and spend time with other singles in a relaxed environment.

The idea?

Less “standing around trying to figure out what to say” and more actually doing something together.

Expect:

🌊 Coastal walks & experiences

🏰 A castle experience

🎲 Love Éire games

💬 Easy opportunities to chat and connect

📸 Beautiful coastal surroundings

❤️ Plenty of chances to meet people naturally

You can come alone — many people will.

You’ll be part of guided group experiences, so you won’t be left wondering who to talk to or where to go.

💫 THEN: SPEED DATING

After a day of adventures and getting to know people naturally, we turn up the chemistry.

Saturday Speed Dating gives you the chance to meet a range of other singles through short, structured conversations.

It’s your opportunity to find out:

❤️ Who catches your attention?

💬 Who makes you laugh?

✨ Who do you have chemistry with?

👀 Who would you like to get to know better?

Your speed-dating feedback is collected as part of the Love Éire matchmaking experience, with your speed-dating matches revealed on Sunday.

💕 AND THERE'S MORE TO THE MATCHMAKING

Speed Dating is only one way to discover a potential connection.

Love Éire also includes our wider matchmaking experience, designed around compatibility and what you're actually looking for.

The matchmaking process considers things such as:

❤️ Values

🌿 Lifestyle

💭 Relationship patterns

💕 Preferences

🎯 What you're looking for in a relationship

So you could meet someone during Speed Dating and discover that they’re also identified as a strong match through the matchmaking process.

Or you could discover someone through the matchmaking process whom you didn't happen to meet during Saturday's activities.

Two ways to find your person: chemistry in the room + compatibility behind the scenes. ❤️

🌙 THEN: LOVE ÉIRE AFTER DARK

Once the daytime adventures and Speed Dating are over, the connections continue into the evening.

Expect a relaxed Love Éire social atmosphere with:

🎶 Music

🎲 Games & activities

💬 Socialising & conversation

❤️ More opportunities to mingle

🌙 Love Éire After Dark

You’ve already spent the day getting to know people — now it’s time to relax, have fun and see where the evening takes you.
