**QweerFest has unfortunately been postponed until further notice. We hope to be back soon! **
So what are we doing about Covid?
Covid meant that we couldn't hold QweerFest in May 2020 as planned. We've now decided to reschedule for Saturday 9th October 2021, in the hope that we'll definitely be able to go ahead with an amazing festival for you all. Wherever we are by October, we'll always plan and take decisions with your safety in mind. We are putting our tickets back on sale, and hope that people like you will buy, to support us and the artists who'll perform. If you buy now and we can't hold the event on 9th October 2021, you'll be able to get your money back. Please consider supporting us by buying your tickets now, and just think how amazing it'll be to be back with the qweer community when we can go ahead! We can't wait to see you all.

Evening only tickets allow entry from 8.30pm, all other tickets all entry from 12pm until closing at 1am.
Tickets
Low income / accessible – this is for those who cannot afford the standard ticket price due to being on low or no income. These tickets have sold fast, but we want to make sure QweerFest is accessible to everyone that wants to come, so if you would like to purchase a Low Income ticket, please email qweercollective@gmail.com.
It is also for those who would not be able to access all of our venue due to the stairs. Unfortunately our venue is not fully accessible, and only one area of the venue (the Come Together bar) is accessible without the use of stairs. We want to welcome as many people as possible to join us in the Come Together bar at this reduced price however. If you would like to purchase an Accessible ticket, please email qweercollective@gmail.com.
Standard – this is the standard ticket price, which is for the whole day and night festival
Solidarity – we ask those who can afford it to purchase solidarity tickets. Our event is not for profit – our solidarity tickets allow us to provide for more low income / accessible tickets, as well as pay our artists and performers for their time. QweerFest is an opportunity to showcase qweer artists and performers, who we know can struggle to gain paid performance opportunities, and we are just as committed to providing paid work opportunities for qweer artists and performers as providing accessible ticket pricing.
We also have Evening Only tickets, which will allow entry from 8.30pm to close at 1am.
