Ok, I read arlessiar post about a get-together while in London for The Golden Circle release, but since I won’t be there (rejoice, you won’t have to deal with me, lucky lot - I’m a liar I’m dying to meet you all and hug you so tight until passing out out of breath, but this is my life.) I thought I would give you some hints from my visit to Hunstman.
I was looking again into the Hunstman webpage for the visits indication and… THERE IS NOTHING.
With this I’m not saying that you can’t visit the shop, but when I did the webpage had an open invitation to go inside and take pics and all that jazz we love so much.
So, in my experience, I visited the shop on a Friday morning around 10 am. There was no clients around, just the boss and cutters (in offices upstairs, nobody goes there, neither did I; and downstairs, where the atelier is).
The door sign states that you cannot take pics inside; however, the assistant / cutter/ prince charming of breathtaking blue eyes, to who I talked inside told me that the prohibition only applies when there are clients around to secure their privacy (very logic- just imagine finding Matthew Vaughn there. I will kidnap him for info, wouldn’t you?).
So, I strongly recommend you getting some courage and go inside. There were two assistants a brunette one and the blond one (both male), go for the blond one of dreamy blue eyes. He is super sweet and kind, he will let you go around as you please, take pics and touch stuff (I do love him ok, but he won’t remember me).
If you really wanna make sure you can go inside I suggest to write an email and ask them about a small group visit due to the release / premiere of the second movie or you visiting London for the first time and being a fan of the movie. They will understand.
DON’T BE LOUD (there are REAL people trying to work there.)
BE POLITE (we are Kingsman agents fandom, not savages!)
SAY ‘PLEASE’ AND ‘THANK YOU’.
ASK AS MANY QUESTION AS YOU CAN (be brave.)
(Note: look pretty for the pictures, you wanna show them later on the internet, don’t you all?)

wingsstarsandatardis : Do you know anything about the trunk shows?
Sorry but no, they weren’t available or didn’t exist when I visited the shop the first days of June this year 2017, but maybe if you as fans create a group big enough to ask for one, you should / can do it and see what happens.
I don’t know the costs of it, if 20th Century Fox gets involved in one it will be for the press maybe, and if for the fans, with registration or even a ticket like the London Takeover.
But if you get one, make sure to really attend and not leave the tailors waiting.
