For years, our community has bemoaned the lack of sapphic nightlife. But in 2024 we’re experiencing a major revival with a surge of awesome, inclusive lesbian, queer and dyke events. Let’s celebrate the moment and find out more about the renaissance we’ve all been waiting for.
Here are what some of the trailblazers behind the nightlife scene had to say…
“We wanted to see more people like us” – (Nat from Meringue)
“Queer people really show up for each other” – (Abi from Big Queer Picnic and club night Carabiner)
“Being queer is political” – (Becca from Strapped and 537 Events)
“It’s Magic Mike for the dykes!” – (Jamie Fuxx from Magic Dyke)
“There have long been Black lesbian spaces” – (Rabz and Mo from WET)
“We’re championing lesbian and sex worker communities” – (Venus from Sex & Rage)
“We want to play pool and slow dance with our dyke lovers” – (Nelle from Pop-Up DykeBar)
“We worship the altar of pop music” – (Xan and Scarlett from Gal Pals)
