The slut has shaped our ideals of womanhood and sexuality for centuries, from off-with-her-head-ing, to media assassination and cancel culture, to the non-consequential normalisation of sexual violence.

But where does the concept of the slut come from? Can it be reclaimed as a force for good? And how has our relationship with being sluts changed post-lockdown? Semi-professional slut Ruby Rare is here to reveal all, in an evening thatll spark your imagination, question, and celebrate the slut within us all.

As well as Ruby sharing their personal and professional musings, well reflect and discuss key topics as a group, so we can learn from each others experiences.

Doors: 7pm

Start: 7:30pm

Break: ~8:20pm

End: ~9:30pm

A final note: respect, confidentiality and consent are fundamental principles of Ruby Rare events, and all attendees are expected to uphold them. The organiser reserves the right to ask anyone to leave should their behaviour be in breach of these principles.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
