New Venue:

This is our first event at new venue The Garage, right opposite Highbury and Islington Tube Station. The venue can be conveniently reached via overground or the Victoria Line, which also operates the Night Tube to get home afterwards.

Rather than the two-room setup of past events, we will be using the venue’s one big main room. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There will be gendered and gender neutral toilets available.

Safer Spaces Policy:

It is very important to us that Ariapita Social Club remains an enjoyable and comfortable experience for all. We want everyone to meet each other, to make new friends and to feel free to get loose and bus a wine. We welcome people of all gender identities, sexual identities, ages and ethnicities. Our guests must respect this.

There will be zero tolerance for any form of:

- Sexual assault
- Harrassment
- Discrimination

- Spiking

If you feel unsafe at any point during the event, please reach out to security or bar staff, who are fully trained to provide support in such instances. Those unable to respect our safer spaces policy will be asked to leave.
