Our secret venue changes every week and is only revealed to those who are admitted in the lottery draw. The secret venue details will be emailed in multiple batches between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. Depending on availability, there can be a last-minute draw just hours before the event.
IMPORTANT
We are a 100% volunteer-run team gathering in our personal time. Despite careful planning and high standards, all our activities are private and informal, so we are not liable for any damage or inconvenience, nor subject to any service expectations. However, we put a lot of care into maintaining a safe atmosphere and good energy; we vet and approve participants at our own discretion, prioritising trust, good vibes, and community alignment. We have zero tolerance for harassment and disruptive or predatory behaviour. Disregarding our team and processes may result in being declined or removed. We take photos and videos to steward our community, as well as stock photos from sites like Unsplash and Pexels, in line with GDPR. While our processes aren't perfect, we ask that you respect them while you participate and discuss any concerns with us privately and respectfully.
