THE KICKBACK: THURSDAY AFTER WORK

FRIDAY CAME EARLY.

We’re kicking off UK Black History Month with Thursday After Work — a new monthly after-work social from The Kickback.

On Thursday 1st October, we’re taking over XORA London, a Black-owned venue in the heart of Farringdon, for an evening of good food, drinks, music, games, networking and good people.

Come straight from work, grab a drink, get involved in the games, meet new people or catch up with friends, without the awkwardness of formal networking.

Expect R&B, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Amapiano + more as we take you from after-work drinks into the evening.

DRESS CODE: ALL BLACK 🖤

And when we say ALL BLACK, we mean it 😂 No creative interpretations. Come correct.
