LAST ENTRY 10PM
Please note that this community night is a grassroots event set up by The Butch Order and members of Drag Kings of Manchester to provide a space for butch centred individuals. The ticket is priced to keep the event running for as long as possible. This butch night began as doodles on paper, and we are so grateful to be able to bring together Manchester's butch and stud community on this launch night of what we hope is many more to come!
We owe our thanks to Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ Community Fund, LGBT Foundation, George House Trust and Homobloc for providing a grant to make this first event possible.
