Pop Up Events
What is a popup event?
A popup event is an event that happens at random, different locations, at different dates and times. Basically, there isn't consistency for when the events will be held. They change each month.
What part of the event makes it "Speakeasy?"
We keep a Speakeasy vibe with each popup Event by not announcing the date and location from the beginning. You know there will be an event each month and also the time of the event. However, the location and date are held out later into the month. All month, teasers will be given out daily. You can purchase the event tickets from the beginning, however, you will not learn the date and location until given to the public. The date will usually be given about 2 weeks before the event. The location will be given the week before the event. We also cap the attendance to about 40 people, sometimes we might allow for up to 50. However, the event is kept small to create that one of a kind, limited to those in the know.
What is included at each Popup Event?
Each event will have a theme for the month. Most, if not all events will include:
- Education and recognition/thanks to Sherpas
- Education topic on something specific around mushrooms (30-60 minutes, part of which is done while doing the craft/hands on project)
- Opening networking, mingling, engagement with other attendees
- A new location to discover and enjoy
- Some kind of food and drink included
- A craft and/or hands on project that has to do with the theme and education for that month
- Music or sometimes a DJ
- An exclusive gift that you only get for attending the event
- Other fun additions depending on the venue and theme of the event
- Merchandise table if interested
How much does each Popup Event cost to attend?
Each event will have its own pricing determined by the location rental, craft/hands on project that is being done + the take home item that comes with the craft/hands on project, the food/drink included, and a few other pricing that comes into play. We would save the average cost of each event will be about $50 give or take. We will have individual pricing, VIP pricing, couple pricing, and group (4 people) pricing. We are also considering a membership that would give additional incentives and include a certain number of events during the year.
What happens if I purchase a ticket and once additional event details are announced, I can't make it? Or I just end up not being able to attend after purchase?
Please note that currently, we do NOT offer refunds. Instead, we will allow you to transfer purchase to a future event. If the event is less than the event you paid, there will be no refund as it helped to pay for the previous event you initially purchased for. If the event is more than the event you paid for, we will need you to pay the difference, again because the ticket pricing helps to pay the majority of what the cost of each months event is. OR you can transfer your ticket(s) to someone else. All we need is an email or message that you have sold your ticket(s) to someone else and provide their name(s) and a good phone number and/or email so they can provide the information at the door.
How old must you be to attend?
It will depend on the locations rules. However, all events are for adults ONLY. So you must be at least 18 years old. However, if a venue only allows 21+, we must follow those rules and we will make it clear from the beginning. No children will be allowed unless 2 years and under and you are still breastfeeding. Please message or email us if this is the case so we can be prepared. And also make sure that the location we are using also allows for this. You will be ID'd at the door of each event.
What makes the cost of the event worth it?
Please see what each Popup Event includes. However, when it comes to knowing the worth. Please consider that you receive:
-An exclusive and one of a kind experience
-The craft or hands on project includes all supplies, instruction, and experience + you get to keep it and take it home!
-Some kind of food and drink is always included - any thing extra or different from what is provided will usually be available, but that would be on you
-Education, a 30-60 minute education portion is included with each event. What would you pay for a class that is 30-60 minutes long?
-An exclusive, only available trinket just for that event. You can only obtain it by attending the event.
-Usually specials/discounts that the venue offers to our attendees for that event
-(One time) If it is your first event, you will receive a welcome gift
+ who knows what additional things we might add to any given event we put together!
How can we purchase tickets?
Tickets will be purchased online at our website. Because we don't announce the date or location, we can't use the normal event ticketing platforms.
If you are nervous about purchasing a head or you are someone who makes last minute decisions and wants to purchase at the door, we will only allow for door purchases if we don't hit our 40 attendees. Tickets at the door will be $10 more.
