From Chat to Connection

A Pleasure Island Social with Jessica Parker

• Wednesday 11 November · 7pm –10:30pm
• Shoreditch / Old Street, London
• Arrive from 7pm · Guided welcome from 7:30pm

Venue details will be shared with ticket holders before the event.

For the first time, we're taking a little of the Pleasure Island atmosphere outside of the parties.

From Chat to Connection is a social evening for singles, couples, partners, lovers, mates and dates to meet, mingle, flirt and make new connections amongst an open-minded crowd.

At around 7:30pm, Jessica will bring everyone together for a short, playful welcome before getting you out of your usual conversations and into some new ones.

Jessica will be joined by a few of her trusted guests sharing their own experiences of going from chat to connection at Pleasure Island parties and in sex-positive spaces more generally.

Expect simple connection prompts, a little optional guided touch and some very easy ways to get beyond awkward small talk.

Throughout the evening, Jessica will occasionally give you a reason to move around the room, meet someone new or pick up one of our From Chat to Connection cards and see where the conversation takes you.

There'll also be a small guided hand-massage area, hosted by members of the Pleasure Island team, for anyone who fancies opting for a hand massage instead of a handshake.

Talk. Flirt. Meet someone new. Come with someone you already know. Opt for a hand massage instead of a handshake. See who you gravitate towards — and let the evening unfold.

This is a social event, not a play party.

You don't need to have attended a Pleasure Island party before to join us.

Booking a ticket will also add you to the Jessica Parker and Pleasure Island mailing lists, where you'll hear about Jessica's work, future parties, socials and events. You can unsubscribe at any time.

What to wear

Smart, stylish and social - with a touch of sensuality always welcome.

There's no theme and no Pleasure Island party dress code for this one. Wear something you feel good socialising in.

Touch & consent

Some of the optional activities during the evening may involve simple, clothed touch, such as a brief shoulder or hand massage.

Everything is optional.

Always ask before touching someone and listen to their answer. Consent can change at any point. You're equally welcome to enjoy the evening without participating in any touch-based activities.

Self-care. Consent. No pressure.
