Occasions in London
A hen where everyone feels at home.
Mums, school friends, new friends: one table, real conversation and something to take home. No dares, no matching T-shirts, no pressure to drink.
Occasions in London
Creative hen parties and birthdays in London, where everyone actually talks.
Three hours for 8 to 16 guests, at your home or a venue we book. A glass to begin, conversation cards in pairs, a wooden canvas each to take home, and a toast to the person you're celebrating.
- 3 hours
- 8–16 guests
- At yours or a venue
- Alcohol-free friendly
A toastEveryone shows their canvas, then a toast to the person you're celebrating. Each guest takes theirs home.
For the people you'd want in one room.
A birthday about the people, not the bill.
Turning 30, 40 or 50? Gather the friends who matter for three hours of conversation and making, then raise a glass.
Send them off properly.
A new job, a move, a retirement. Give someone a send-off they'll talk about, and everyone leaves with something they made.
Something better than party games.
Baby showers, reunions or a long-overdue catch-up: a relaxed afternoon where everyone talks, makes and toasts together.
Three hours, five moments
1Leave it behind
A glass to begin. Everyone writes down what's on their mind and sets it aside, so they can be fully present.
2Talk in pairs
Conversation cards that get past small talk. One talks, one listens, then partners rotate, so everyone meets more of the group.
3Notice the good
Each guest shares one thing from the conversations that stayed with them.
4Make
Pick materials on instinct and build a wooden canvas of you. No skill needed.
5A toast
Everyone shows their canvas, then a toast to the person you're celebrating. Each guest takes theirs home.

Good questions, honest answers
What hosts ask before booking. Everything else, just write to us.
The sessionDo we need to be creative?
Not at all. You pick materials on instinct and build something small. Nobody is judged on what they make.
The sessionWill we have to share personal things?
Only what you want to. The cards invite conversation, not confession, and anyone can pass.
WhereCan you come to our home or Airbnb?
Yes. We bring everything. We only need a table big enough for the group.
HensDoes it work if the bride doesn't drink or is pregnant?
Yes. We open with wine or something alcohol-free, and nothing in the session depends on drinking.
Baby showersDoes it work for a baby shower instead of games?
Yes. Instead of games, guests talk, make a canvas each and finish with a toast to the parent-to-be, so the day becomes something to keep.
