It’s all about gathering this time of year, whether celebrating a special occasion—a birthday, a themed dinner party for Halloween—or simply enjoying a social get-together. Supper parties and communal dining are major trends, with more people hosting dinners away from home at supper clubs and dedicated venues.

Brixton Warehouse offers flexible event spaces in South London, perfect for supper clubs and social dining.

People are seeking alternatives to traditional home entertaining, and venues like ours are ideal for private parties, pop-up dinners, and celebrations. We provide professional facilities with options to bring your own catering or enjoy curated menus.

The Shift in Events and Entertaining

Even business events now need to work harder to attract an audience. The days of the standard PR event or brand activation with a glass of bubbly are being overtaken by more intimate dinners with selected guests.

One influencer told us that unless there’s an extra motive—like a dinner or an activity such as “sip and paint”—she won’t attend.

This reflects a wider shift: socialising over food is a key element of happiness, and communal eating is becoming increasingly popular.

The Danish Secret to Happiness

The good news? This style of gathering is good for us. Taking inspiration from Danish culture, hygge embraces communal eating and convivial gatherings.

Our Danish cousins have a strong tradition of shared meals, both in homes and public venues, which research links to higher levels of social wellbeing and community spirit.

Lennart Lajboschitz, founder of Flying Tiger in Copenhagen, runs an open-door warehouse for communal meals that attracts diners from all walks of life. Known as Folkehuse, these communal tables are an authentic part of Danish urban culture.

84% reported making new friends through these meals.

Designing Spaces for Connection

Modern property developments in London and Copenhagen increasingly incorporate communal kitchens and shared dining areas, reflecting the value of food as a social connector.

Co-living projects, student housing, and even family-oriented flats now include shared dining spaces, encouraging community bonding—a trend seen across Europe.

Planning Your Event

For dinner parties that are less formal, send invitations 2–4 weeks in advance.

For larger gatherings or destination events, always send a save-the-date so guests can plan travel and accommodation.
