Veya — date by doing

Dating in Manchester

Launching next

The Manchester dating app for people who'd rather do something.

Manchester rewards people who actually go out. Between the Northern Quarter's bars, Ancoats' kitchens and a gig on almost every night, there's no excuse for another lukewarm coffee date.

Manchester is next on our launch list. Join now and you'll be first in when we switch it on — plus 3 months of Pulse Plus, our premium tier, free.
