Tate Modern: Photo Scavenger Hunt | London 20s and 30s
**On Friday 26th June, we're really excited to be heading back to the Tate Modern for our latest fast-paced Photo Scavenger Hunt.**
Every final Friday of the month, the Gallery stays open late - giving visitors the chance to explore its incredible collection after hours, with special exhibitions and bars open for drinks ð
However, rather than simply admiring the artwork, we'll be turning our visit into one of our famous gallery-wide team photo hunts.
If you've not joined one before, our Photo Hunts are a unique mix of a **Scavenger Hunt** and **Where's Wally?,** set inside one of the world's most famous galleries ðŒïž
We've curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching details hidden within the artworks across the gallery.
Armed with clues and photo hints, your team's mission is to **track down as many as possible** before time runs out ðµïž
The clues will help point you in the right direction, but many of the answers are designed to be easy to miss - so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you.
Along the way, there'll also be a series of bonus challenges, giving your team the chance to earn valuable extra points ð
**We'll then head back to the pub to total up the scores, crown the winning team and hand out some great prizes to the winning team.**
And to keep the fun going with our huge collection of board games - giving you plenty of opportunity to chat with your new teammates and share experience with the other teams ð²
It should be a fantastic evening, but places are limited, so if you'd like to join us, be sure to RSVP as soon as possible!

**JOIN THE COMMUNITY**
Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help Londoners in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build lifelong friendships.
To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

July Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our July read is ***A Short Walk Through a Wide World*** *by Douglas Westerbeke*.
We'll follow a young woman bound by a mysterious condition that forces her to keep moving across the globe. As she journeys through vibrant cities, quiet landscapes, and centuries of time, each stop reveals new connections, fleeting relationships, and deeper questions about belonging. The novel blends adventure with introspection, exploring what it means to search for home when you can never stay in one place. Itâs both a love letter to the vastness of the world and a poignant meditation on identity, memory, and human connection.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar**
Happy reading!

Book description:
A merchantâs daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars.
âA true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfeltâthis one is a winner all around.ââKatee Robert, author of Neon Gods
As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevereâs path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her familyâs station, and live quietly as a lordlingâs obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.
Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.
Unlike Guinevere, Oskarâs path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all thatâs left is a long, lonely walk to a land heâs never seen to find family heâs never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him downâeven if the spark between them sizzles with promise.
Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon theyâll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Roleâs Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.
