RAW is not your typical night out, and the first of its kind in London. No two RAWs are the same.
Join us on October 18th for another What Does Not takeover of The Ministry where we showcase storytelling and creativity of all types. Expect real, uncensored stories as well as art, food, a whiskey tasting, live music, – and for the first time, we'll end the night with an open jam. Connecting all the activations of the evening is the theme of 'Hustle', where we celebrate the headstrong and undeterred in all their shapes and forms.
Not been to an open jam before?
Instrumentalists and singers interact with each other to make music in a freewheeling environment. It is creativity, talent and improvisation at their best – and a taster of what goes down at our independent music night, the NOISE . With a full NOISE coming to the Ministry in November, this is the perfect warmup and introduction to the spontaneous magic of jamming. This particular open jam is our hat tip to the community of hustlers and music makers pursuing what they love.
THE RUNDOWN
- Doors open at 6.30 pm
- Arrivals no later than 8 pm

... and more. Keep an eye out on our Instagram @whatdoesnot for updates and announcements.
ABOUT RAW
RAW brings together people from all walks of life for a night of immersive experiences and curated storytelling on a theme. RAWs feature true stories told by everyday humans – paired with music and art. More than just a night out, this immersive event bridges social gaps and creates an environment that truly catalyses heart-based understanding of our shared humanity.
The RAW series was designed for this time of division and disconnection and is based on the premise that genuine human connection can be the cure. What if you have more in common with people you didn't think you have anything in common with?
ABOUT NOISE
NOISE showcases the best up-and-coming talent from across the city and partners with emerging music communities to bring the sounds of the underground to the heart of London – an area where gentrification has all but endangered authentic grassroots culture. Part showcase, part community jam, NOISE holds the door open for undiscovered talent and is a game changer for the music industry. Each NOISE is unique, a night where everyone is invited to be part of a cultural moment in time that can never be replicated.

What Does Not
WDN is a culture agency and creative incubator. We are a hybrid entity that combines the functions of an events company, community, and creative agency.
WDN is female founded, a social enterprise and member of SEUK.
We're breaking the mould of average nights out by dishing out the cure to loneliness in cool and vibey ways, while giving a leg up to emerging creators.
From immersive storytelling nights, to live music events, panels with a difference – and more – everything we do at What Does Not is designed to be an antidote for this age of loneliness, disconnection, and polarisation.
