FAQ -
I am under 25, can I come along? - Unfortunately not, Scope Out was founded to fill the gap for social meet ups for anyone over the age of 25. Instead, why not come along to Kaleidoscope! A social group running the first Tuesday of every month at Lumiere for 17-24s!

What if I am not creative/can’t sing? - We don't believe in not being creative! But if making art isn't for you, come along and enjoy the atmosphere. We won't force you to participate in anything, and you will still have your chance to let us know what you'd like to see more of in Havering.

Do I need to attend all sessions? - Not at all, it would be great if you did but sometimes life gets in the way!

How much is it? - Free

If I book a ticket and can't make it, does it matter? - If you can no longer make the event and have booked a ticket, please cancel. It allows us to manage expectations and enrusre that everyone who is able to go can book a space.
