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]

Zombie shuffles back into thread.

Jumps up and down waving at Justine.

Ponders tweeting Justine, Carrie, Rebecca and Rowan with bribes.

Settles for waving some more.

It could be my Golden Birthday Gift from y'allGrin PLEASE!!!! I deserve it!!!

MadIsTheNewNormal · 01/03/2014 03:54

I can't go, although I'd love to. I bet it would be fascinating.

There will be all sorts of conspiracy theories over this though.

Well known, well loved? You got hand selected. But there won't be more than three of you - too obvious.

MN Royalty? They wouldn't dare. They'd never hear the last of it.

Well known Smuggy Smart Arse and total biatch with a high deletion rate? You got disqualified at the start line.

Well known Pain In The Vagina who gives MNHQ a hard time like they are Jeremy Paxman? Well it could go either way, but if you get invited watch your back and wear a stab vest. It's a trap.

Total nobdie? They picked you for balance, and so there will be no accusations of favouritism.
