We want to celebrate Pride with a party!
We'll have tunes all night, ~all genders and sexualities~ positive night. There will be comedy, performances and fun surprises!
We don't want a sit-down speed dating atmosphere for every event we put on, because we realise so many people like to jump in and out! So, we're having a party with performers, comedians and DJs!
Remember - some people are here to flirt, some to make friends, some to watch the performers...always ask before you make a move! CONSENT IS KEY.
We are trans positive and don't tolerate racism or bigotry. If we witness anything, we'll remove you. I may be small but I can kick ass.
Gender neutral toilets and wheelchair accessible venue!!
