From Chat to Connection is a social evening for singles, couples, partners, lovers, mates and dates to meet, mingle, flirt and make new connections with an open-minded crowd.

At around 7:30pm, Jessica will bring everyone together, joined by a few of her trusted guests sharing their own experiences of going from chat to connection at Pleasure Island parties and in sex-positive spaces more generally.

Then we'll get you out of your usual conversations and into some new ones.

Expect simple connection prompts, a little optional guided touch and some very easy ways to get beyond awkward small talk.

Throughout the evening, Jessica will occasionally give you a reason to move around the room, meet someone new or pick up one of our From Chat to Connection cards and see where the conversation takes you.

There'll also be a small guided hand-massage area, hosted by members of the Pleasure Island team, for anyone who fancies opting for a hand massage instead of a handshake.

Talk. Flirt. Meet someone new. Come with someone you already know. See who you gravitate towards - and let the evening unfold.

This is a social event, not a play party.

You don't need to have attended a Pleasure Island party before to join us.

Booking a ticket will also add you to the Jessica Parker and Pleasure Island mailing lists, where you'll hear about Jessica's work, future parties, socials and events. You can unsubscribe at any time.

What to wear

Smart, stylish and social - with a touch of sensuality always welcome.

There's no theme and no Pleasure Island party dress code for this one. Wear something you feel good socialising in.

Touch & consent

Some of the optional activities during the evening may involve simple, clothed touch, such as a brief shoulder or hand massage.

Everything is optional.

Always ask before touching someone and listen to their answer. Consent can change at any point. You're equally welcome to enjoy the evening without participating in any touch-based activities.

Self-care. Consent. No pressure.
