If you wish to report a violation of these rules, please reach out to one of the hosts. Even if it is one of them, find the other hosts to report it to (you will never be penalised for a report).

If anyone is found to be in serious breach of these rules we reserve the right to eject them from the party immediately – including their guests.

You have been invited as trusted members of the community. If you see something not quite right,  talk to the DMs ASAP.

Vices & Consumption

This is a dry event, this doesn’t mean it’s a sober event, take this into account when negotiating.

No alcohol or drugs are permitted at 404.

If hosts think you are impaired beyond the vibe of the party you will be asked to leave.

We don’t judge anyone based on their consumption habits and wish for all attendees to feel comfortable and free to be their most expressive version of themselves. Yet, we suggest asking yourself some questions as you explore.

Am I enhancing my experience or escaping something?

Am I still in touch with myself?

We love Jaffa cakes at 404, we might ask you our favourite biscuit. this is to make sure you have read the rules.

Can I still sense the boundaries of myself and others?

Do I do this out of habit or did I make a conscious choice?

Do I know when to stop?
