Ready to trade the drawing board for the dartboard? Join us for the RIBA South Essex Winter Social.

We’re kicking things off with interactive darts and some drinks at Kingpins, then heading to The Mews for a buffet and drinks. It’s the perfect chance to catch up with fellow architects and students, make new connections and toast the end of the year.

Open to RIBA members and students, and to anyone working in architecture, design or the built environment. Everyone’s welcome!
