Wine and Wotsits Summer 2024

Please note that due to the general election this event will now be happening in December 2024
You say wot?

That's right, there aren't enough wotsits in our lives, so a few times a year we co-ordinate people coming together to share some of their successes (or failures). It's a pecha kucha format, which means approx 5 presentations of 20 slides, each lasting 20 seconds. Previous speakers include those from Save the Children, Shelter, WWF, Unlock Democracy, Which?, Change.org, Care2, Let Toys be Toys, The Sunday Times, pollsters, leading academics, journalists and many more. If you have something you'd love to talk about, please let us know!

Wot Wot Where?

Newspeak House, 133 Bethnal Green Road.

Wot Wot Who?

We'll be unveiling the event list over the next week. Check back in

How many tickets are there?

120 in person, we always sell out so book early and join the waitlist if you can't get in.

If we have capacity we will do a virtual event too. There are 100 further tickets available for that. If you book one please note we can’t guarantee we will be able to provide it, or that the production values. Wotsits volunteer power is, alas, finite.

Wot if I don’t like wotsits?

While we grieve for what your tastebuds may miss, you can come and not eat wotsits. They are simply the snack that is provided.

We don’t provide any drinks so please bring whatever you would like. Alcoholic, non alcoholic, whatever floats your boat. There was once a splinter table of gin and onion rings fans. Further crisp based diversity is encouraged.

Who is behind this?

Ali Goldsworthy and Kate Norgrove attempt to “host”. Jess Day of More Onion, Usman Mohammed, Jon Date of di:ga Communications, Ruth Taylor of Common Cause Foundation and Ab Brightman of Student Hubs help too. The phenomenal Ed Saperia not only hosts us at Newspeak but helps steer the ship. The team is expanding so we can put this on more frequently. Check back to find out who else is on board. None of us get paid. You all make us laugh and we get to eat crisps. That's payment enough.
