About this Event



Museum Date 🖼️: The Wallace Collection — Sip, Explore & Connect | Women Only!
Hosted by We Should Be Friends · London Girls Club
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Our very first official event — and it's a special one | WOMEN ONLY
We're taking over one of London's most beautiful and underrated museums for a dreamy Sunday morning of art, connection and good energy.
The Wallace Collection is a free museum tucked inside a stunning 18th-century mansion in Marylebone. Think gilded rooms, Rococo masterpieces, Fragonard's The Swing in real life, and one of the finest collections of French art outside the Louvre. It's the kind of place that makes you fall in love with London all over again.
But this isn't just a regular museum visit.
You'll explore the galleries in a completely different way — with a fun surprise game that'll keep you engaged, curious and actually taking in what you're seeing (no zoning out!). It's easy to follow, and fun — whether it's your first time or you've been before. The perfect girlie plan either way.
After the exhibition, we'll walk to a nearby spot for an aperol, matcha, or coffee and yap about what we saw. This is where the real bonding happens — let's connect through the experience and share our favourites with each other.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🤍 THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
→ You're a romantic who loves art and beautiful spaces
→ You're one of the art girlies
→ You're new in the city and want to find your people
→ You're looking for new friends and real connection
→ You've been in London for years but want to see it through fresh eyes
→ You want to share experiences with others — no awkward silences, no "simple networking"
I would love to see you there.
