Haystack Dating | Leeds Launch

We are so excited to be launching in Leeds.

We’re taking over Sixes in Headingley, the home of a very well-stocked bar and some very fun social cricket simulators.

For a part of the night, we’ll introduce you to a group of people to have a bat with that you have similar interests to (we’ll get a bit of info about you when you grab your ticket).

Not into cricket? We weren’t either, but we’ve spent an excessive amount of time on these simulators now and can confirm they’re great fun. Absolutely no running required.

In this case, fate is Lula's mother, Marietta Fortune, a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter.
