KUMI is a London collective of small, hands-on evenings for people who’d rather make something than make small talk: cook with a senior leader, meet people in corporate over a long brunch, or bake late with a private members club.
KUMI Collective is a curated experience series in London, for people 23 and over. It runs three series. Second Shift brings in one senior leader from finance, law, tech and beyond, who brings a recipe and cooks it with eight to ten guests in a modern kitchen. The Gathering is an open meetup for people working in the corporate world: the first was at Pergola on the Wharf in Canary Wharf, and the second, Second Helpings, is a Saturday brunch at Branché in Tooting Bec. Dough Diaries is an invite-only members club of small baking nights, from First Slice, a girls-only pizza night, to The Midnight Batch. Every KUMI night is built on the same idea: people open up when their hands are busy.
