We're bursting with Pride this June, and you're invited to join the party! Whether you're looking for fierce cabaret, creative workshops, family fun or the secrets behind a killer drag look, we've got something to make you feel fabulous.
Start with a Bang: The PHWOAR Next Door
Friday 6 June, 7:30pm | Ages 18+
We're kicking off Pride month with an explosion of camp, cabaret and charisma. The PHWOAR Next Door returns with a glittering lineup of drag darlings, burlesque babes, and outrageous comedy. Expect lip-syncs, striptease, and sass from stars like Bolly Ditz Dolly, Mild Peril, Fae Wildfyre and more. It’s queer cabaret at its finest – loud, proud, and gloriously subversive.
Get Creative at Our FREE Drop-In Pride Art Workshop
Saturday 7 June, 11:00am | For children in School Years 1–6
We’re putting the art in heart at this colourful workshop for younger Pride-goers. Kids can drop in and create their own personalised Pride bookmark that celebrates exactly who they are. It's a fun, safe space for LGBTQIA+ children and allies to get creative and express themselves. (Parents, this is a drop-off session – go grab a coffee and we’ll take it from here!)
Meet Mama G in The Magic Bookmark

Everyone’s favourite panto dame is back! Mama G, star of Britain’s Got Talent, brings her storytelling sparkle to a magical adventure about the power of reading and being true to yourself. With puppetry, songs, laughs, and a very special bookmark, it’s a joyful show the whole family will love.
