SLEEPOVER at The View from The Shard will give daters a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know someone new at the top of one of the World’s most iconic buildings.
A first ever from The View from the Shard this is a unique chance to spend the night, and then see dawn break over one of the greatest cities in the world. All from Western Europe’s highest building.
Activity based dating site DoingSomething.co.uk aims to offer culturally adventurous Londoners exhilarating opportunities to meet other likeminded people – and a sleepover at The Shard has show-stopping potential for a ‘how did you meet‘ anecdote to tell the grandchildren.
Armed with sleeping bags and comfortable clothes (sleeping mats are provided) as the city’s lights dim and the stars begin to shine, the singletons will get a tour of the night sky from the Royal Observatory who are situating a powerful telescope on the open-air viewing gallery, plus be able to enjoy an array of talks, acoustic performances, and even a midnight feast. There will also be a pop up cash bar open on floor 69 for guests to enjoy.
The Glam Camping Company will pitch a very limited number of VIP Bell Tents on the highest publicly accessible floor of the building, exposed to the elements*, providing a unique chance to sleep literally at the top of the Shard. Alternatively sleeping spaces around the 360 degree Level 69 indoor viewing gallery will provide a little more shelter.
Interactive word games will break the ice, followed by a midnight feast from Pizza Pilgrims delivering piping hot pizzas straight from their Soho ovens. Renowned presenters and literati will also be providing readings of acclaimed writers and poets in Toby Brothers’ Literary Salon on themes of sleep and darkness. Bed-time stories and lullabies top off the night as guests drift off into the clouds at 800ft. The sleepover comes to a close early morning. Daters will be roused from their sleeping bags to enjoy a view of the sun rising over London, whilst treated to hot drinks and breakfast.
Should you wish to enjoy the experience but go home to the comfort of your own bed then evening-only tickets are available. Please see www.doingsomething.co.uk/sleepover to see what this includes.
All tickets come with a FREE 1 month membership to DoingSomething.co.uk (worth £29) see how to redeem on confirmation voucher.
*In the case of high winds and thunder storms, Level 72 will have to be evacuated and the Bell Tents taken down.
