A GRAND GATHERING

Come Anyway

Friday 13 November 2026 · 8pm–midnight · London

A theatre stage beneath a sign reading The Society for General Merriment presents, with Pietra wearing a crown behind a tiered birthday cake marked 30.

Pietra is turning 30, so there’ll be a party.

There’ll be food, cake, music, dancing and a staffed bar. Some people will know each other already; plenty won’t.

£20 per person · food & soft drinks included

Alcoholic drinks are available separately from the bar at very reasonable London prices — draught beer, ale and cider £4.50, bottled beer and cider £3.40, wine from around £4 a glass, spirits with a mixer around £4.50, and cocktails £7.50.

The sort of room

Come with friends or come knowing nobody. Relax, be yourself, be kind and respect people’s boundaries. That’s pretty much it.

Joining us

This one works a little differently from most Society gatherings. It’s Pietra’s birthday, so places are offered through a guest-list process before tickets are purchased.

The application, full particulars and tickets are all handled on the dedicated party website.

Applying doesn’t reserve a place. If your application is approved, you’ll receive details of how to buy your ticket.
