Costume Parties

**All I want for Christmas** is… oh no, not more Mariah again (though her track Fantasy is still a dope tune). As it's a British tradition to go for a spirited drink on the eve of Christmas magic - how about joining to sip Pinot Noir, Guinness, French Martini or other another merry beverage over fun conversations encapsulating the holiday spirit? And then, when the mood hits and DJ is in full swing, singing random lines along to **Fairytale of New York** just like we did **Last Christmas**? Is it Xmas numero uno yet? Apparently this year some very questionable Kylie track has taken the crown! Whilst we await the the day of the big December miracle - as well as fun conversations and jokes - one of the resident DJs (not me) will be pumping out some Xmas party singalong crackers plus all usual feel good tunes for dancing **till 3am** whlst we do **another rock n roll xmas** glittery singalong - if the drinks flow endlessly, which no doubt they will....🍸🍻🍷🥂 This year we are back at the home of cool non-touristy music for real music fans - Camden - doing the **jingle bell rock** around the Xmas tree @ the Camden Eye - a neat cosy trendy young bar tucked away 13 second walk from the dusty but ponyless road adjoining Camden Tube station, 1.6 miles from Central London. First we will meet in the Elephant's Head for Pre-drinks and go to the Eye at 11pm for more socialising and dancing. For food there will be at least one fast food outlet opoosite the bar open till 5am. Come **Silent Night** midnight mass - the DJ will be in full musical effect droppin eurphoric bangers so if you live in North London (zone 2) or Central London then this will be perfect xmas eve drinks and music bash as you can literally walk home without having to worry about no public transport after 12am. Try to wear something chrismasie. And make sure you answer the important screening question on your fav xmas song (a prerequisite for attending to ensure you actually like and enjoy key elements of xmas!). And I'll personally buy the first mull wine infused larger-shandy for the first person that can correctly guess all of the famous xmas tunes I have referenced above!!! **\-\-\-\-Strict Attendance Limits\-\-\-** Those of you who are fellow Camden music nightlife lovers or regulars to my events, you'll know the venue is small, very selective and they have limited bar staff to work xmas eve. So if you're not confirmed, please do not turn up. I have set the RSVPs in expectation of a max 50% turnout, any more and security will stop letting people in because of capacity, and worst case we will all get thrown out to accommodate their regular locals and could get barred from my local! As always with all our events, in case of drop outs, preference will be given to my regular crew, genuine music fans and locals to the event vicinity **\-\-\-\-Directions & How To Find Us\-\-\-\-** First we will meet in the Elephant's Head at the back for intros, pre-drinks and then go to the Camen Eye at 11pm for more socialising and dancing. For food there will be at least one fast food outlet opoosite the bar open till 5am. Inside the bar, I'll be wearing customary shiny xmas tinsel. Both bars are about 60 seconds walk from Camden tube station, 8 mins from Camden Overground station. Camden station is literally max 5 mins on the tube from all Central London tube stations e.g Leicester Square (Piccadilly line, Northern line), Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly, Bakerloo), Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central, Victoria), Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth), Covent Garden (Piccadilly), Charing Cross (Northern, Bakerloo), Warren Street (Northern, Victoria), Russell Square (Piccadilly). And walkable to central London (e.g. Warren Street) is less than 30 mins. Reindeer Lucas - Ho Ho Ho

Join OverBoard to play the brilliant social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower in person at the brand new board game cafe Otter Chaos in Brixton. If you haven’t heard of Blood on the Clocktower before it is an evolution of classic party games like Mafia/Werewolf where a hidden evil team takes on the good team by lying and killing. The good team has a few tricks up their sleeve but will have to work together to deduce who the evil doers are in their midst. **This is a beginner friendly event so no experience with the game is necessary.** Please note that a gaming cover charge of \~£5 will be payable by each attendee to the venue so that we can make use of the space. We also encourage you to buy food and drink from the bar so we are supporting the business (I can highly recommend their pizzas!) If you want to know more about the rules of the game check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g

Here's what some of our other students have to say about our classes: Dean "I started Bushin a few months ago. Having done martial arts for 5 years in another art, I was open to new ideas of what may come with this one. I am thrilled to say it has been fantastic. My instructor Stephen is a legend, he knows what he's talking about and has a no bs way of getting to a point. He is a lover of martial arts and it shows. His enthusiasm rubs off onto myself and the other students which creates a great learning environment. This art is marvellous, the group is a humble yet enthusiastic class of students coming to learn. I felt like I was part of the group the moment I joined. Higher belted student don't have an ego and are happy to help and train along side anyone in the class. Joining Bushin has been a tremendous experience." Konrad "Great place to learn self-defence . Coach with a passion to MMA show you how to react and defend yourself" Penny "I was completely new to martial arts so I didn't really know what I wanted to learn but I love the way they teach a mixture of martial arts and have a set syllabus. I felt like I was learning boxing, Kickboxing, jujitsu and self defence all in the same class which was great value for money!" Elizabeth "Great class for beginners and those with experience. Stephen is so welcoming and has been great at helping me find equipment and modify exercises to help with my mobility issues! Really recommend for anyone wanting to try martial arts or get fit in a friendly atmosphere :)" Lucia "I joined Bushin after a friend of mine was attacked in London and I thought it was a good idea to learn how to defend myself in case something like that happened to me as well. I didn't have any previous experience of self defense or fighting and I thought that this would hold me back, but it was definitely not the case: people in Bushin are so welcoming and nice to each other, always ready to help - it's truly a place for every level, from beginner to black belt. It's much more than a self defense class, it's real street fighting and a super good workout as well , but most importantly, it's great fun! I highly recommend it" Check out these and our other reviews for yourself!: [Club Reviews](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Gm9DV2xyYun55UqS8) And most importantly BOOK YOUR FREE TRIAL TODAY!

**Want to help bring your city’s community together?** We’re looking for local hosts to organize small group lunches, evening drinks, mixers, movie get-togethers and curated experiences. **No experience necessary,** just a friendly attitude, some local knowledge, and a willingness to meet a few new people. After each event, we’ll send a short feedback form so we can improve and support you. The host will also be able to provide feedback so we can learn what worked and what didn't. **[Click here](https://form.questionscout.com/6926c9ab87a828a5c11a79fc)** to apply and get started: if you’re selected, we’ll reach out for a quick screening call.

Host: Yash \*This event is a collaboration with other groups and social networks and it will be well attended \*To attend this event you need to buy a ticket from [https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages](https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages) What is better way to end 2025 rather than a group of single people mixing and mingling, partying and dancing, while keeping their eyes trying to spot that special one that will make their heart jump. Whether you are looking for a partner or just to meet and connect with other people who are at the same phase of life, this is the event for you! You never know who you are going meet in this evening and that is the beauty of it! You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a partner in life!

Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;) Oh! and you don't need to ask the awkward question: 'so are you single?' because they all will be! You are very welcome to attend alone or with friends. We will be there making introductions, helping break the ice,, and act as a glue in the group. We have a reserved area/table where we can mix and mingle, so that everybody can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. and then we are going to move on the dance floor! Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off- kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5. Its eclectic playlist and beautifully bonkers interiors set it apart from its peers. Famed for its rogue aesthetic, it really has it all. We're not joking. Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and waltzer-style booths all add to the charm! The program of the night is as follows : 7:30pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing. Everyone arriving before 9pm receives a token for a complimentary drink ( you can choose between beer, prosecco or non alcoholic) Happy Hour till 9pm!

Simmons Holborn is a powerhouse of a cocktail bar. Situated slap bang in the Centre of London, it brushes shoulders with Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street. With two floors of utter delinquency to explore and a gigantic DJ booth housed inside an 8-foot disco ball - it's kind of a big deal. The largest of the group's bars, the basement level takes inspiration from all the fun of the fair - sporting big-top style paintwork and walls lacquered with novelty circus posters. The upstairs is more typical of Simmons. Stacks of odds and sods line the venue like a shrine to the good old days. Drink cocktails out of Nanna's crockery and dance to live DJs spinning everything from 00s bops to R&B to soul, The program of the night is as follows : 7:00pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing.

Hi all, this isn't a cultural event\*, it's a social get-together for anyone who feels like getting out and enjoying some friendly company on Boxing Day. It doesn't matter if you're a regular attendee, or haven't yet been to anything with this group. Everyone's welcome! We'll meet at the Festival Bar & Kitchen on Level 2 (the main lobby level) of the Royal Festival Hall, on the side overlooking the river. There's no need to eat, or drink alcohol - there's coffee, tea & soft drinks, or simply come & chat. It's very informal and they don't do reservations, so I'll post in the Comments section below exactly where we're sitting and what I'm wearing. The FB&K is open until 4pm, after which we'll move on somewhere nearby, and again I'll post in the Comments where we're going. There's no end-time as such, the event will end whenever everyone's had enough and gone home. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \* And the event has nothing to do with Friends, from which I've borrowed the logo, with acknowledgement and thanks!

Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event: SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw PLAN: We’ll kick off the event with a pre-show Happy Hour at nearby Bravo! We’ll confirm the details and exact meeting time once we get the showtimes, but planning for 5 to 5:30pm for the Happy Hour and a 7pm-ish showing of both films. For the movies, we’ll meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtimes! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your Movie of Choice and seat number in the Comments below. Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
