RAW is not your typical night out, and the first of its kind in London. No two RAWs are the same.

Join us on November 5th for a What Does Not RAW at The Little Scarlet Door where we showcase storytelling and creativity of all types. Expect real, uncensored stories as well as live music. The theme of the night is 'Rebellion', where we celebrate the headstrong and undeterred in all their shapes and forms.

For Guy Fawkes Night, we'll hear stories on the theme of REBELLION with tales drawn from the community of Rebel Tours. Rebellions come in all shapes and sizes. From resisting authority and control, to learning to say no, or defying convention – all kinds of things can come to dominate, including the limits people place on themselves. And there’s no telling what the impact of breaking free from these will have. We’ll hear human stories of rebellion from London's past and London's present, as told by those immersed in the history of the city – the guides from Rebel Tours, and beyond. We'll learn what these stories meant to them and how they've inspired some form of rebellion in turn.

THE RUNDOWN

  • Doors open at 5 pm
  • Storytelling starts at 7 pm
  • Doors close at 11 pm
  • ABOUT RAW

    RAW brings together people from all walks of life for a night of immersive experiences and curated storytelling on a theme. RAWs feature true stories told by everyday humans – paired with music and art. More than just a night out, this immersive event bridges social gaps and creates an environment that truly catalyses heart-based understanding of our shared humanity.

    The RAW series was designed for this time of division and disconnection and is based on the premise that genuine human connection can be the cure. What if you have more in common with people you didn't think you have anything in common with?

We're breaking the mould of average nights out by dishing out the cure to loneliness in cool and vibey ways, while giving a leg up to emerging creators. From immersive storytelling nights, to live music events, panels with a difference – and more – everything we do at What Does Not is designed to be an antidote for this age of loneliness, disconnection, and polarisation.
