London Social (was September Social now Postponed to Feb 2024)

This event was originally supposed to happen on Saturday 30th September 2023, however, due to train strikes the event could not go ahead as planned. After consultation with our ticket holders we decided to postpone the event.  The new date is Saturday 3rd of February 2024. As such we have now re-opened ticket sales for those who did not previously purchase a ticket and now wish to join us.  For those who already held tickets for the original date, your ticket will still be valid for this new date. If you cannot make the new date due to other commitments, we are able to refund your ticket.  We cannot refund tickets for any other reason. It goes without saying that we would welcome the ticket price as a donation from you instead of a refund, for those who can afford it. Please contact [email protected] to discuss further. Please note there will not be an option to purchase a ticket 'on the door', anyone without a valid ticket will not be able to attend.

Join us on Saturday 3rd February for a fun get-together in Central London. An opportunity to enjoy the company of others with alopecia, meet some of the AUK team, have a bite to eat, a few drinks and perhaps a boogie! 

There will be a happy hour on cocktails from 6.00-7.00 pm so make sure to get down early and make the most of the evening!

More about the venue

We've booked a private room in the Conductor Craft House and Kitchen in Farringdon, London. There is also an outside space, please note this outdoor area is not for private use and other customers in the main bar can also use this area.

The venue is fully accessible.

Cost

Tickets are £20 per person. Your ticket will include entry and a few canapes. Drinks will need to be purchased separately from our private bar.

This price contributes towards the costs of the private room hire. Alopecia UK is pleased and proud to be able to financially support this social event. 

If you have the means and can contribute more towards the full cost, we would graciously welcome your support. Any contribution, however small, would mean that we can continue to provide support to people affected by alopecia and have more events like this in the future. You can contribute more by adding an optional donation during checkout.
