SUMMARY:Oban Lesbian Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Scotland’s first ever 3 night LGBTQ weekend\, Oban Lesbian Weekend\, launches on August Bank Holiday. \nFirst there was Oban Pride\, now the much hyped Oban Lesbian Weekend this August. There used to be only one gay in the village (according to reports back in the 90’s)\, now it seems like hundreds of LGBTQ women are flocking to this small coastal town for their holidays. \nOban Lesbian Weekend’s founder\, Maz Gordon\, moved back to her home town of Oban 3 years ago after living in Brighton almost half of her life. She was excited to see that Oban had started it’s own pride but at first she found it hard living somewhere which didn’t seem to have any LGBTQ community\, so she decided to bring the lesbians to Oban by launching her own event\, Oban Lesbian Weekend. \n“Women I speak to always say they’d love to come and explore Scotland but Oban is often a couples holiday and never one you would expect to meet other LGBTQ women. I posted on Facebook to see if there would be much interest for a weekend that involved some cocktails\, castles and karaoke in Oban and was shocked that within 3 days of launching\, I’d sold 62 tickets!”. \nOban Lesbian Weekend is offering something for everyone. They are working with local businesses to take their group to see Scottish wildlife on boat tours. Seals\, seagulls and you never know; minky whales and dolphins are known pop up on these boat trips. They are running various walks to suit differing abilities\, so that women can explore Gylen Castle on the island of Kerrera while meeting other LGBTQ women. Weather permitting\, Oban is also a great place to try paddle boarding or kayaking. \nFor those a little less outdoorsy\, Oban Lesbian Weekend is hosting dinners in smaller groups\, catering to all budgets – fine dining in Oban’s newest boutique hotel\, No 17 The Promenade\, pub grub at Markie Dans and plenty of time to stop at the two famous seafood shacks on the pier. \nOban Distillery has been producing Oban Whiskey\, a single malt since 1794\, so of course there is the option to visit the distillery. \nLike any gathering of LGBTQ women\, many will come for the social life. Attendees will be in for a treat. York based\, singer songwriters and Masterchef quarter finalist\, Jess Gardham has performed at English and Welsh lesbian festivals\, Femme Fest and Lfest\, and is coming all the way to Oban to perform on their launch night. It’s not often that Oban gets someone who has performed at Manchester 02 academy\, America and Canada. Attendees will have their own chance to sing at Karaoke\, then local DJ’s make sure everyone is dancing through the nights. The last night’s closing party will have Edinburgh’s legendary LGBTQ Dj\, Trendy Wendy. \nWhat’s not to like! If you’d like to be part of this historic event for Oban\, we believe they still have a few tickets left. \nTickets and info: https://www.outsavvy.com/event/8155/oban-lesbian-weekend-26th-29th-august-2022
