£20 gets you in the door, two cocktails and two hours of owl amusement. As if sipping on cocktails and playing with owls wasn’t cool enough already, all profits benefit The Barn Owl Centre in Gloucestershire and its further conservation efforts. Over 58,000 people have already signed up for random ballot entry into the bar, which will be open from 8:30 PM–2 AM daily that week.

Trained falconers will be there to supervise the six confirmed birds for the event. The owls include the infamous Annie, “the queen who leads them all,” Cinders, who is “very diplomatic and is the one to go to when it comes to tribal issues,” and Hootie, “the finalist in the World Owl Beauty Pageant.” For more owl info, check out annietheowl.com.

Let’s hope the U.S. is Annie’s next stop!
