Baby, It Was Warm Inside x Marmalade Trust.

Tuesday, 21st January | Home Grown Club

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

On one of the coldest nights of the year, our fantastic crowd braved the chilly January evening to make our event unforgettable! You are true social superstars, full of energy and warmth. Despite what looked like an archeological dig outside (just road works!), you were quite the explorers finding your way to Home Grown. You made it happen!

A Glamorous Setting

Home Grown was our home for the evening, a stunning six-story Georgian townhouse in the heart of Marylebone. Its cozy, atmosphere was the perfect backdrop to foster the buzzing energy that made the night special.

A special thanks to those who joined in with our Sharing the Love campaign.  It was heartwarming that so many of you nominated friends who needed extra encouragement to join us. We met the 10 wonderful new faces who won the tickets and welcomed them into the Rendezvous circle.

Birthday Bonus

We celebrated new connections and special occasions—two guests celebrated their birthdays with us! It was a joy to see them share their special day surrounded by old and new friends.

Eighty incredible guests filled the space, including new guests from the Home Grown’s Membership, creating a buzz of laughter, conversation, and genuine connection. It was a night to remember, proof that January can give warmth, friendship, and new beginnings.

Marmalade Trust

Finally, thank you for supporting our partnership with the Marmalade Trust. Your generous donations are helping this incredible charity combat loneliness and foster meaningful connections across all ages. If you’d like to learn more about their work or get involved, check out the links below:
