A
event
on Sunday 5th October. The event starts at 17:00.
Brand new sober social event that provides a safer space for LGBTQIA+ community and allies. Italian food, great mocktails, live music, art traders, DJs and cabaret performances.
Hosted by Bristol's very own pint-sized dancing Diva MISS VENUS WAILER!
Expect a spectacular performance from the founder of dance community Everglowing, burlesque performer and teacher - IVY ROSE! Joined by Fagbutt's family - UGLY, JIGGLES and NARCOTIK, who will bring a fun club kid weirdness to the evening!
Live music by VIERZ COLLECTIVE. Nostalgia-soaked sounds drifting through cosmic soul and psych haze. Bristol-based. Groove-laced. Timeless but not stuck in time. Vibes for days, memories you haven’t made yet.
CELINE DIJON, SLAGGAMUFFIN and SKILLIS will take control, spinning a potent mix of disco, garage, electro and house.
All the proceeds from this event will be donated to FREEDOM, OTR’s LGBTQIA+ youth programme. Freedom provides community, wellbeing support, and safe and joyful spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth in Bristol and beyond.
Over the past 30 years, Freedom has provided a relaxed, social environment where young people can meet friends, learn new things, and explore queer identities positively alongside peers and role models. The vibrant programme of activities is co-designed around needs and interests expressed by the group.
Weekly sessions are led by Freedom's LGBTQ+ team, supported by trained volunteers, and free to access. There are sessions for 11-25s, grouped by age, as well as support for parents and carers. For those needing further support, signposting to specialist services, or into OTR's wider offer of mental health support helps LGBTQIA+ youth find the help they need.
