MUSEUM LATES FOR DATES: Straight & LGBTQIA+ singles night | British Museum + pub
About the event
A fresh take on dating for straight and LGBTQIA+ singles in their 30s, 40s and 50s, brought to you by LoMAZ. We visit the British Museum once a month for their Friday late opening, before heading to the pub.
Join us for a relaxed evening of conversation and connections. It's just like a usual LoMAZ event except for one thing: everyone there will be single.
Come for friendship, come for dates, come along!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
6.00 - 7.00pm: MEET AND GREET IN GAIA FOOD & DRINKS (OPPOSITE THE MAIN MUSEUM ENTRANCE). Gaia Food & Drinks, 62 Great Russell St, WC1B 3BG. [Map.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/n1TuSPALDCXZthuP7) We will then go to the museum
*Look out for LoMAZ hosts wearing a 'host' sticker in a yellow frame and they will welcome you.
• You can choose to wear a LoMAZ logo sticker (indicating you are straight) or a LoMAZ rainbow sticker (indicating you are LGBTQIA+), or you can wear both stickers. Wearing stickers means everyone can see who is part of the group and helps you find us as we move around the museum. If you see someone with a LoMAZ sticker, feel free to chat to each other. • About a third of the people signed up actually attend, so expect a group of about 40 to 50 people.
7.15-8.00pm: EXPLORE THE MUSEUM *We will explore the museum together. This month we are visiting the Parthenon Sculptures in Rooms 18, 18a and 18b.
8:00pm: MEET TO WALK TO THE PUB- We will meet under the stone columned canopy outside the main entrance\, to the side of the doors at the top of the steps (Great Russell Street entrance).
8:15pm - late: PUB SOCIAL: We will then go to a nearby pub. Please see the event comments on the evening of where we are going to.
