A social event for the ENM community, designed to help everyone make friends and build our non-monogamous support networks. No cruising allowed.
Join the ENM Fam on our 3rd anniversary, our biggest event of the year!
We'll be gathering at out usual Fox and Firkin pub in SE London (Lewisham) for a lovely evening socialising with fellow ENM folks. This event takes place both indoors and in the beer garden, so you can socialise however you like.
Our events are about celebrating the diversity of our community, making friends, building support networks and sharing educational resources. If you are polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, in an open relationship or have just started exploring ENM, we would love for you to join us! This event is non-profit, all ticket sales revenue that aren't reinvested in the event (e.g. printing, pens, event games or entertainment purchases, armbands for our volunteers, etc.), are donated towards a charity of our choice by the end of the year. We'll be charging £5 per ticket at this event to support our fundraiser in August. However, if you are low income and can't afford this amount, message us on Instagram so we can offer you an alternative.
To celebrate our third anniversary since our very first event in 2021, we'll be arranging some exclusive activities (performances, a raffle, etc.) - please check our Instagram to find out more.
IMPORTANT:
Our events are not designed for dating. Please do not attend if you're only looking to meet new partners. Save your cruisy energy for play parties, apps or speed dating events and come help us build community instead.
This event is ticketed, so you will need to register to attend. The cost per ticket helps us cover for event related costs such as name tags, pens, printing, etc. This is a non-profit event fully volunteer run. All proceeds are donated to a charity of the community's choice at the end of the year.
There is no waiting list. Once tickets sell out, we recommend to take a look at the page regularly, as many people cancel their tickets closer to the date if they can't attend anymore.
We ask that anyone registering for this event agree to the following conditions after reading our code of conduct:
1) You will arrive by 8pm. Doors open at 7pm, and we want to prioritise tickets for people who can participate fully in our event, including activities. However, if you have a disability and need to arrive later, please get in touch and let us know.
2) You will cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend. Even though the tickets are free, they are limited. If you suddenly realise you can no longer attend, we want you to release your ticket so that someone else in our community can use it. Cancelling your ticket is easy and can be done up until 5pm on the day of the event.
3) You will read and agree to the Code of Conduct before attending (link above). Please note that there may be osme regular pub customers on the night. If you see someone not wearing a name tag with their name and pronouns, they're not part of the event.
