drop ins
Guests without notice
Drop-ins are unscheduled visits or visitors—people who arrive without an appointment: We had a few drop-ins during the party.
The term also applies to casual participation in activities that don't require commitment: a drop-in yoga class, a drop-in clinic.
As an adjective, drop-in describes things designed for easy, temporary insertion: a drop-in kitchen sink, a drop-in replacement part.
