V is for... Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities
Details
Although it is a bit late for Halloween, join us for some strangeness (followed by some spooky fun, if you join the Ghosts, Ghouls & Murder Tour later in the day, which you can book here).
Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities
First with the strange...a visit to the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities. It is difficult to summarise what to expect (I think after even having visited it may be a challenge to describe), so please refer to the website here, and scroll down to About the Museum to get a feel.
- The museum is very small, and the limit at any time is ten people.
- Therefore please can you book yourself a ticket (£13.03) to enter the museum at 215pm here ,and confirm you have done so on your RSVP.
- If your answers on rsvp do not confirm you have a ticket, you may be moved to a waiting list to allow others to get tickets, before they are possibly sold out.
- You can message me to confirm once you have a ticket. :)
After this, we'll head to a pub near Embankment tube station to drink/eat/recover. Then, if you have signed up for it here, float to towards Cleopatra's Needle which is where the Ghosts, Ghouls & Murder Tour starts (lasts for 2 hours).
(The reason why the pub is likely to be near Embankment tube station, is to accommodate those also attending the ghost walk in the evening and hopefully most can make that leg of the day too!).

EVENT WHATSAPP GROUP:
If you are on the 'going' list only please join the event WhatsApp group to help you find the group on the day. Please let a host know if your Whatsapp name is different from your Meetup name, otherwise we'll assume you're a spammer!
If you are on the waitlist, please join the group only if/once space frees up and you are moved to the 'going' list.
Link TBC to be provided a week before the event. Joining this WhatsApp group will make your phone number visible to other members in the group.
GROUP RULES, PLEASE NOTE:
LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. We limit event numbers as we prefer a smaller, friendlier group.
- If you can no longer attend, please change your RSVP as soon as possible.
- Members on the 'going list' who do not change their RSVP to 'no' and do not show up 3 times in a row will be removed from the group.
- If you're on the waitlist, you will automatically be moved to the 'going' list if space becomes available. Please do not attend if you aren't on the 'going list'.
- If you RSVP as 'Going' but then change your RSVP to 'No' five (5) times in a row, then you will be removed from the group.
Thank you for your interest in the group & being part of LoMAZ.
