27 May. We've finally done it. The Mess does Chess — and we're doing it properly.
We're taking over a venue in Angel for a night of boards, drinks, and genuinely good company. No rating required. No chess clock anxiety. Just people who want to play, learn, and meet someone new over a game.
Whether you're moving pieces for the first time or you've been obsessing for years there's a board with your name on it. We'll have speed chess, fun formats, and everything in between - so whether you want a laugh or a proper game, you'll find it.
Show up, grab your free drink, and let the board do the socialising for you.
27/05/2026 at Chapel Market Tavern, Penton St, London N1 9PZ
19:30 onwards
Free drink included with your ticket! All levels welcome - beginners especially. Limited spots. Dress code applies.
22 May. A totally unique offline social designed to get you socialising - hosted on a 16th Century English Galleon!
Sir Francis Drake would be proud - we’re taking over his iconic ship (recreation of) to bring you the biggest social event of the year.
Snitch is your new solution to social media addiction - we’re teaming up with them to get you off your phone and into real life. On arrival, phones go in the Snitch phone box OR you can download the Snitch app and have it enabled for the night. Either way, you're going offline. Download at getsnitch.co.uk
This is your chance to meet some new people, dance to some great music, and join a room full of people who'd rather be here than on their phones, all while watching the river from an authentic part of history.

The ship is a real 16th Century Galleon, there are low ceilings and uneven floors - you’ve been warned!
15 May. Round 3! The biggest new debate club in London is back. YAP CLUB + The Mess. For those who like to Yap (and those who want to listen).
Free drink included with ticket!
On 15th May at 19:30 we’re bringing you the next in-person debate with Yap Club.
They’ve been running countless successful events over the last months and their in-person debates are getting popular.
We invite you to come along, grab your free drink, and get debating some hot topics (or just listening).
Popular debates in the past have been: the male loneliness epidemic, is having a boyfriend embarrassing? and are modern friendships too low maintainance?
