ABOUT OUR EVENTS
LIFESTYLE EVENTS
PLUG TAKE OVER:
A SPACE IN EVERY PLACE
Plug Take Over is DLPlugLondon’s mainstream social and networking event brand. It was created to offer a welcoming space for POC and allied LGBTQ+ men who want real-world connection — outside of hookup culture or nightlife.
We take over exciting spaces and transform them into hubs of good energy, shared experiences, and genuine conversation. Whether it’s a sip & paint, games lounge, escape room, or a speed-dating night, every event is carefully curated for comfort, community, and connection.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Plug Take Over is designed for LGBTQ+ men, including gay, bi, DL, queer, and questioning individuals, as well as POC and allies who value inclusive, discreet, and safe spaces.
It’s a welcoming environment for those seeking genuine connections, whether that’s friendships, community, or potential relationships, and a refreshing alternative for anyone feeling burnt out by hookup culture.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Plug Take Over offers fun, curated group activities like sip & paint, board games, VR and escape rooms, along with speed-dating & interactive socials at select events.
Held in discreet, welcoming venues across London and the UK, the vibe is strictly non-cruising, focused instead on connection and good energy.
Signature IYKYK wristbands help members identify each other discreetly, while Plug ensure the right mix of people and atmosphere every time.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Plug Take Over is a judgment-free space focused on organic, offline connection, offering a break from the noise of apps. Built by and for the community, it fosters a culture centered on comfort, culture, and genuine connection, with events designed to reflect these values.

We’re building something bigger than nightlife and we want you to be part of it.
