On Saturday 24 November, Mr. Social, London’s glamorous private party network for single gay men, will host Wilde Ones, an Oscar Wilde-themed cocktail party from 7.30pm till late at the newly opened Mrs Fogg’s Maritime Club and Distillery in Broadgate Circle.

Complimentary cocktails will greet 300+ gentlemen before they go on to explore the weird and wonderful world set before them. “Crowd Mixologists” will signpost the way from the ground floor Maritime Club bar to the Rangoon Steamer ship and down to the depths of the Distillery & Engine Room, where the dancing and gin consumption will occur.

Mr. Social is also taking inspiration from Wilde’s “Picture of Dorian Gray” with an epic gilded mirror doubling as a photo booth and a few themed distractions to punctuate the evening action. Mr. S gets guests mingling by hosting a Mr. Quickie Corner at each event.

The membership base is made up of driven, sociable professionals from top corporations in the city

Expect three-minute speed dates, a complimentary sip of liquor for courage, and a fellow for the night.
