Come and celebrate the campest contest on Earth with Queer Theatre as we host our first-ever Eurovision Viewing Party.
We’ll be showing the entire Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final on a cinema-style screen with full sound, surrounded by themed decorations, snacks, sweet treats, and scorecards for those who take their douze points veryseriously.
From 8pm, join fellow LGBTQ+ theatre-makers, artists, and allies to cheer, cringe and celebrate every chaotic performance. And once the final votes are in, stick around, because from 11pm, we turn up the fun with a late-night cabaret hosted by the brilliant Aura Gasm; bringing sharp comedy, outrageous charm and just the right amount of Eurovision-inspired mischief to keep you laughing until late. Then we’ll put on the iconic hits of Eurovision until 2am.
We’re proud to be hosting the night at The Nell of Old Drury — a historic, queer-run pub that’s been a cornerstone of London’s theatre scene for centuries. Just opposite the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Nell has welcomed generations of actors, playwrights, producers and backstage crew through its doors — from the greats of British theatre to the casts and creatives working in the West End today. On Eurovision night, you’ll be shoulder to shoulder with fellow LGBTQ+ theatre-makers and the wider community who call this place a second home — sharing laughs, snacks, and a sense of belonging in one of theatreland’s most treasured spaces.
Whether you’ve never missed a final or just fancy a fun, welcoming night out, this is your chance to celebrate Eurovision with your community in a venue where theatre and queerness go hand in hand.
