Introduction
The Speed Friending events are warm, friendly and relaxed events, where people can meet new people, build friendships, and feel a sense of belonging.
“Amica” comes from the Latin root meaning friendship and friendly warmth. Our events are open to everyone - all ages, backgrounds and genders. If you’re looking to meet new people, chat, laugh, and make genuine connections - you are very welcome here.

Hi, I’m Emma
I started these speed friending events as a simple way to gather people together in a slightly different way – think of it as a relaxed, fun version of speed dating, but slower and all about making new friends instead of finding romance.
The vision is to and bring people together with a share purpose of making new friends to try to help liberate people from loneliness and isolation.

How it works
Come join us for a fun evening of speed friending in Brighton or Worthing - meet new people, make friends, and have a great time!
Think of it as a relaxed, fun version of speed dating, but instead of romance, it’s all about making new friends. The aim is to create an easy-going, welcoming space where you can have genuine conversations, share some laughs, and hopefully leave with a few new connections.
Meet between 8 to 10 people for mini 8 minute chats.

Testimonials
“Thank you so much for last night, it really was an incredible evening. I woke up feeling so positive this morning and I’ve been smiling all day. I’ve reached out to everyone who was kind enough to pop their slip into my envelope and I’m so happy to have met lovely new people. I can’t wait to come to the next event that you organise.”
