About this Event
Looking for the perfect way to ditch Pinterest Paralysis? Pick the brains of local interior designer Charlie, host of the '', on Thursday 29th October at 7pm for a soulful evening of cocktails and concepts.
Whether you’re joining the IDC for the very first time to tackle a tricky room or coming back again to pick up where you left off, welcome to our relaxed drop-in design clinic, Cocktails & Concepts.
And if you're just here for the vibes, a good drink, and to meet like-minded people in your community—everyone is welcome!
For just £35, think of 'Cocktails & Concepts' as a relaxed and welcoming interior design check-in clinic. Whether you’re coming solo or bringing a friend, you’ll get to pick the brains of an expert, gather tactile samples through mood boarding, and leave with more clarity and confidence to create a space that tells your story.

The Pre-Event Guide (Sent Ahead!)
Keep an eye out for a bite-sized guide in your inbox 48 hours prior. It’s full of helpful nuggets on layouts, lighting, and design fundamentals to help guide and inspire you before we meet.
Having these insights in hand gives us plenty of breathing room on the night for hands-on mood-boarding, sipping cocktails, and for me (Charlie!) to chat individually with everyone about their home.
Clinic Journey
01 | The Welcome: Grab your complimentary cocktail or mocktail, settle into the beautiful space at The Pocket, and relax.
02 | The Mood Board Bar: Get hands-on with our curated tactile material library—fabrics, wallpapers, paint charts and magazines to build a physical 'Concept Mood Board' that captures what speaks to you.
03 | The 1:1 Live Consult: Bring a photo, video, and/or rough layout sketch of your space on your phone + a dream image. Sit down for a little dedicated 1:1 time with Charlie to chat through your specific design dilemmas and refine your board.
04 | Community & Connection: No rigid lectures or stiff presentations. Spend the evening chatting through ideas with fellow design lovers, getting feedback, and soaking in the relaxed lounge atmosphere.
