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]

Yes please! I'll even bring Brownies (with no nuts in as I don't like them) just in case the biscuit tin is a bit bare...

Ahem. Zombie believes it has been established that she is older than you, magi.

I have very white hair. (I got told this this morning) I'm coming out in solidarity with my teacher chums just in case.

Agree with Val that Zombie is lovely in the undead flesh even if she is missing an arm

Me please! I just need to work out why a trip to London would be a tax-deductible expense....

Ok then, I'll give this a bash. But only if I can dress as Verucca Salt.

I'll go anywhere for.even a hint of free wine. Can I bring a baby? She's no bother. Also a three year old? He's quite a lot of bother, but when you consider I've got two, the over all proportion of bother to child is manageable.

That is not how I wanted the sentence to go after "grill"

Ah - is it a teachers strike on the 26th? that might put a spanner in the works.

Me go to London for the day? Too far away to nip home and feed DD 3 meals, so I'm out. Brew for anyone else who cannot make it because they have, you know, children to look after. (Or who live too far from London to make it there and back in a school day).

Hape a good time is had by all and we get to hear about all the best bits. I'm hoping at least one of the winners turns out to be famous and HQ don't find out until they arrive. Grin
