So, we thought we'd have a sort of Mumsnet open day...

Ever found yourself wondering, in an idle moment, what really goes on at MNHQ? If you’re curious to know who’s in charge of the big red delete button, what we keep in our biscuit tin, and whether we do, in fact, harbour mainland UK’s largest cache of gin well, here’s your chance. On Wednesday 26th March we’re planning to throw open our doors to five nosy interested Mumsnetters, who’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to uncover our deepest, darkest secrets.

Attendees will be treated to

  • a tour of MNHQ (which will take approx 10 mins)
  • the opportunity to grill our community, content, bloggers, events and campaigns folks on anything you fancy
  • the chance to ransack our books box for a load of freebies
  • lunch on me (possibly with Wine)

We’ll also do our best to organise an exciting webchat guest for the day, so you can see backstage on those too.

Our offices are in central-ish London (Kentish Town); if you’re likely to be within striking distance on March 26th, and fancy a nose around, add your name to this thread; we’ll stick it in a hat and do a Hunger Games-style reaping on Monday 3rd March. Come on now, don’t be shy - what could possibly go wrong?

[May the odds be ever in your favour]

Can we bring our small children? I've only got 3 1 or 2 and they are absolutely not at all beautifully behaved.

Actually dd1 would probably dob me in for hiding in the kitchen reading MN while cooking dinner.

I understand if not Sad

PatriciaHolm · 24/02/2014 21:42

Can I just throw a small spanner into the works by mentioning that Wed 26th is supposed be a teacher strike day? I suspect many of us may be encumbered by small children that day in a way that we aren't normally midweek, which might prove an issue….

Yoghurty · 24/02/2014 21:38

Ooooh pick me, pick me, I've been on MN since the dark ages when Justine used to run it from her back bedroom, so rumour had it.

Would love to see the fancy schmancy proper grown up offices now.
