Dave Rowlands, who owns Dee Jays, is hoping his new singles night will be as successful as the one where he met his wife.
He thinks the town is crying out for a proper singles night and is well aware of the problems faced by over-30s looking for love.
After he was divorced at the age of 30, he found it difficult to get back into the swing of dating until he met his wife June at a singles night in Blackpool.
He said: "It's fine for the younger singles in pubs because they seem to pair off quite easily.
"If you're over 30 you feel too old for most of the pubs in Leigh but too young for the older crowd in the Labour clubs."
He reckons Leigh has not had a proper singles night for the last 10 years and he now wants to put things right.
Dave added: "It's fine if you live in Manchester or Liverpool because there's lots of singles nights but it's about time we had one in Leigh."
The Cupid Singles Night is taking place at Dee Jays on Bridgewater Street on Thursday, October 12.
Doors open at 7.30pm and tickets cost £6, which includes an oriental buffet and entry to a raffle where guests could win a trip for two to Paris.
l We have 10 tickets to the opening night to be won. Simply send the answer to the question on a postcard with your name, address, age and telephone number to arrive at the Leigh Reporter, Magnum House, 33 Lord Street, Leigh WN7 1BY before 12noon on Tuesday, October 10, 2006.
