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]

Will the trains be running? Will there be jam for tea?

I'm in. Pick me! I don't smell, either.

IamtheZombie · 24/02/2014 19:14

Zombie thinks Ohwhatfuckeryisthis's suggestion is ACE.

The cheque is in the post, OWFIT

While she's here, Zombie jumps up and down waving her arm (just in case Justine missed it earlier).

If Zombie is going, I want to go even more, I've always wanted to meet Zombie! Blush

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.
