Boatmince London 2024
Boatmince London is the annual “on the water” party organised by BeefMince, one of the UK’s biggest bear and admirers party taking place at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
- Visiting London in May? We recommend you book your hotel as early as possible. Stay in Soho, close to all of the city’s bars and restaurants. If you like to party hard, then stay in Vauxhall, just steps from some of the biggest clubs and parties.
The Boat Party
- BOATMINCE continues the the annual tradition of mincing down the River Thames. The event takes on the Sunday of the May bank holiday weekend.
- Come on board to be surrounded by seamen, burly captains and cabin boys onboard HMS BOATMINCE for an afternoon of fun on the Thames. BEARS AHOY!
- During the four hours of cruising (on the boat!) the BEEFMINCE resident DJs will be delivering the signature BEEFMINCE sound, but carefully re-adjusted for a delightful (but yet boozy) afternoon.
- PLUS no need to take Monday off work, IT’S A BANK HOLIDAY!
The Venue
- Board The Jewel of London 12:15pm sharp from the Westminster Pier! Please don’t be late as the captain will not wait for late gays.
- Make an effort to dress up! Organisers STRONGLY encourage a nautical theme. Throw me a wave, sailor!
- The Jewel of London is bespoke party boat with two large decks, open sunroof and viewing gallery. It has two outside decks one to the front and one to the rear. On board is a superb sound system, perfect for those summer tunes.
