We are delighted to announce that we will be returning to Yarnfield Park in Staffordshire for a four-day event over the 2023/24 New Year holidays.
Loving Men+ at New Year is an extravaganza! There’ll be the usual Loving Men+ mix of fun, connection, depth and diverse community. And lots of workshops and activities to help you connect with yourself and others, stretch your comfort zone, be in good company and reflect on your life and where you are going.
We call our events 'Adventures in Intimacy' because they give you opportunities to try out new things, make connections, step outside of your comfort zone and probably laugh harder than you have for a long time. We hope you find our events supportive, challenging, stimulating and inspiring. That's all part of the adventure.
Loving Men+ is a trans and non-binary inclusive and welcoming space.
All the details are below! We look forward to welcoming you to LMNY23!
Best wishes
The Loving Men+ Team
Booking your ticket and accommodation:
This year we are operating a two-stage booking system.
Stage 1. First, you buy your ticket for the event through the Outsavvy website.
| Ticket | Earlybird (before 1st October) | Standard (from 1st October) |
| LMNY23 General Admission | £315 (plus accom costs, see below) | £365 (plus accom costs, see below) |
| Concessionary Ticket (for people on low income) | £165 (plus accom costs, see below) | £195 (plus accom costs, see below) |
To apply for a discount code for a Concessionary Ticket or to be a member of the Crew please use this form.
Being a member of the crew involves helping out with various tasks over the event and gives you £200 off your ticket.
Stage 2. Second, you book your accommodation directly with Yarnfield Park. (You will receive a link and a code by email when you have completed Stage 1.)

Your booking isn’t complete until you have completed both stages. Importantly, our full cancellation terms only apply once you have completed both stages.
Low Cost Options. As usual we have a range of low cost options to help people on low incomes participate in the event. These include: paying by instalments (follow the booking procedure in Outsavvy and this option will be offered), joining the crew, concessionary tickets for people on low income (by filling up a form linked above, in Stage 1), and applying for more assistance through the Bursary Fund (on our website). See www.lovingmen.org for more information.
Paying by Instalments. If you are paying on the Outsavvy payment plan you are responsible for paying the full fee you have agreed to pay. If you do not complete all your payments you may forfeit your place and the money you have paid. The cancellation policy applies to the full fee you have agreed to pay. If you cancel, you will only receive a refund if you have paid funds over and above what is due, according to the cancellation policy.

Covid Policy: Currently, there are no restrictions in place for events of this nature. However, our safety as a community is a high priority for us, so we may put measures in place if there are good reasons for doing so nearer the time.
Loving Men+ welcomes gay, bi & trans men and gender non-binary people, from all walks of life who want to develop their capacity to love. We particularly encourage participation from black and ethnic minority, HIV positive and negative, young and older, trans and disabled men and non-binary people. In 2023 we added the + to our logo in recognition that trans and non-binary people have been a valued part of Loving Men+ since we began in 2003.
