Not every private event is a birthday or a hen do. We regularly host charm workshops for studios, brands, and community groups looking for a members' event, a brand activation, or simply a shared activity that gives their community a reason to get together in person.
More Than Hen Dos and Birthdays
A studio wanting a members' evening, a brand wanting a hands-on activation instead of another sampling table, a book club or a local group wanting an activity beyond the usual meetup, these all work the same way as our birthday and hen do bookings, just with a different reason for the group being in the room. We've hosted a private members' event for a pilates studio, and the format translates just as easily to any group that already meets regularly and wants an occasional activity together rather than just another talk or social.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Guests choose between DIY charm phone case making or DIY charm photo frame making, picking their own charms from our charms collection, so the finished results reflect individual taste rather than a single branded template. For a brand activation, this also means each attendee leaves with something they genuinely chose and made themselves, a different kind of takeaway from a branded tote or a sample bag that gets left on a train.
Why It Works as a Community or Brand Activation
A shared, hands-on activity gives people a reason to stay in the room and talk to each other rather than drifting off after a scheduled talk or demo ends. It also naturally produces content, a table of people mid-workshop, comparing charm layouts, photographs well for a studio's or brand's own social channels without needing a separate content shoot. And because every attendee leaves with a finished piece, the event has a tangible outcome beyond the hour or two spent in the room.
Hosting at Canary Wharf or Your Own Space
We host from our workshop space in Canary Wharf, London, fitting up to 12 guests, or we'll bring everything to your studio, office, or event venue anywhere in London for an additional fee based on distance. This means the event can happen at your own regular meeting space, which tends to suit a community or membership group better than asking everyone to travel somewhere new.
What's Included
Light snacks and hot drinks come with every private event, and we're happy to accommodate allergies or dietary requirements when you book. We handle setup, hosting, and guidance throughout, so nobody attending needs any prior experience.
Booking
We ask for a minimum of 4 guests, and ideally 7 to 14 days' notice so we can confirm availability and prepare materials for your group. Every booking gets a custom quote based on guest count, location, and activity choice. To start, use the enquiry form on our private events page, or email support@thecharmeedit.com with your date, guest count, and location.
Frequently Asked Questions
