Host: Van \*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/c1h7pvgq/christmas-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages](https://www.fatsoma.com/e/c1h7pvgq/christmas-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages) Single people mixing and mingling, partying and dancing in the heart of Shoreditch, while keeping their eyes open 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! Since this is a mix and mingle and not a speed dating there is no age range- in a social pool everybody is welcome and you can choose to speak to whoever you fancy. 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 : 7:00pm-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!

Democratic Republic of Congo. We don't hear many positive stories about those who fled the country. Our parents' heritage, dreams and livelihood was forgotten once they left a place they once called home. We are now the generation to create communities and keep our heritage alive. ​ Once you arrive, OK Jazz will be playing in the background and drinks poured into your glass. We choose light hearted questions to warm to the group for a unique dining experience. You will get to enjoy a menu created to suit the ambience of the evening. ​The menu is changed each week to give a different taste of Congolese cuisine. ​ All my ingredients are fresh and organic or free range.​ ​ Dietary requirement Our menus are created to be suitable for vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian. We do have gluten free options. ​Booking via sum up. Please use the link below for each date which you're available to attend. ​ Beverages Soft drinks are included and we share a bottle of wine.

**Merry Christmas** to everyone and **Happy Holiday Season** to all. Please join us for a festive Xmas vegan meal at ***[The Gate](https://www.happycow.net/reviews/the-gate-west-london-698)*** in Hammersmith ([map](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vJfBn2ZdeF3weVZw8)). You can see the Xmas menu here: [Christmas Menu](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/685e9ce46407780f7f7cc0c5/691cc62f190f88d14e42f40f_CHRISTMAS%20MENU.jpg). You can also read about Christmas at The Gate here: [Christmas at the Gate](https://www.thegaterestaurants.com/post/winter-festive-menu-2025). I will need to book a table, therefore please only RSVP if you are able to confirm. I may need to pay a deposit to the Restaurant per person, and I may need to collect everyone's pre-orders. Please therefore keep an eye on your inbox because I may need to contact you to collect your deposits and pre-orders. I will be emailing the restaurant to check exactly what the process is, and what info they require. The 3 course menu looks great and, for £40, you get a good selection. At this time of the year, where countless animals are slaughtered, the more we support plant based businesses the better. I have eaten at The Gate before and, trust me, you won't be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask.

**Crispy Chicken & Christmas Lights Stroll** Join us for a unique festive experience that perfectly blends savory delights with seasonal sparkle!

Take in the cheerful atmosphere and stunning light displays as you walk off the feast and soak up the holiday spirit. It's the perfect short Sunday or outing this December! Please join ONLY if you certainly can attend. Bring cash with you on the day, easy to settle group bills, budget what you normally would spend when dining out. Maximum group size 10, 15 or 20.
