BREAKING: Queers allowed microphones returns.

It’s STAND OUT, STAND UP - a chaotic, queer-friendly comedy night where the jokes are fresh and the acts are at least legally allowed to try.

Thursday 11th September • 7PM sharp-ish

Come laugh, groan, or politely panic clap — we’re not fussy.

21 people on the courts

Looking for a fun, welcoming space to play badminton and meet new people? Our queer-inclusive badminton group is open to all identities and skill levels — whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned shuttle-smasher, we have a range of levels on offer.
