a shawheale celebration

thursday 17th september 2026

We met in 2014 in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. As origin stories go, we think it's a good one. Since then, we've built a life together in Bristol. A life that has been shaped, coloured and made infinitely richer by everyone who has been part of our journey.

This party isn't just about celebrating our civil partnership, but our chance to say thank you for being part of our lives.

We would love your presence over presents, but if you would like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, there will be a donation point at the party.

We look forward to making more memories with you. Sophie & James x

Come join us in the underground tunnels of Loco Klub, right next door to Bristol Temple Meads train station. That’s right, it’s a party on a Thursday night! Book the Friday off work and get on the dancefloor with us. A huge thank you to our DJ extraordinaire pals with excellent music taste who will be taking us on a journey through all the best music genres.

This an 18+ event

Dress Code:

The vibe: dark fairytale meets high fashion.

Pick out one of your more "couture" or high-fashion outfits - think rich fabrics, sharp tailoring, and dramatic silhouettes. Then give it a dark fairytale twist with a hint of a creature of your choosing: real or mythical, bird, beast, or bug.

Keep it subtle with a brooch, pin badge, or piece of jewellery, or go big with an animal print, a bold accessory, or a headpiece. Both are equally welcome - a small nod is just as perfect as a full statement.

The main thing is you interpret it however you like, and wear what makes you feel fabulous.

For reference, Sophie & James will be wearing a hint of magpie.
