Pride Sunday is rolling in, and if you thought it was going to be your recovery day… that’s adorable. 🥹🏳️‍🌈🍾

We’re open from midday and going straight through till 4am, because apparently pacing ourselves is something we still haven’t mastered.
Lily kicks things off at 2pm with vocals that could resurrect the hungover, The Lady & The Camp cause chaos in two installments, Irene Silva and Rebecca keep the energy high, Bonnie La Blue does what only Bonnie can do, Johnny Wright takes us into the late hours, and Sordid Secret brings the drama at 22:45, before Chloe Byrnes closes out the cabaret at midnight like the powerhouse she is.

And the best part? No door charge. All day. All night.
Translation: you’ve got no excuse — get in, stay in, and let Sunday have its way with you.

See you on the dancefloor.
Or at the bar.
Or somewhere you definitely didn’t plan on being. 🪩

🌈 Camp chaos from start to finish this Tuesday! 🌈

From 4pm Ginger Rogers is back with us to kick things off with the Camp Tuesday Afternoon – expect laughs, camp anthems, iconic camp game shows with Pink Pounds to be won !!

Then from 8pm, DJ Pudsley takes over playing your song requests and getting the party started. Also Take It or Leave It – our very own game show inspired by Deal or No Deal. Open the boxes, face the banker, and decide… take the offer or gamble for an even bigger prize in Pink Pounds 💷
🍔 The diner is open 1pm–12:30am, so you can grab a bite whenever the mood (or madness) strikes.

Pride Saturday is looking busy… 🏳️‍🌈✨

We’re starting from midday and not stopping until 5am, so take that as your warning now.

From Tina Tuna at 2pm right through to Angie Brown at midnight, it’s a full run of vocalists, drag, and the kind of moments that definitely weren’t in the plan.
You’ve got Ella Vaday, Tess Tickle & The Dragettes, and plenty more in between.

It’s free entry during day, then from 8pm it’s just £2 on the door — so if you’re sensible, you’ll get in early.

See you at the bar.
Or on the dancefloor.
Or both. 🪩
