There’ll be an opportunity for questions from the floor too – so whether you’re a budding performer\, a life-long lover of drag\, or a curious on-looker\, this event will surprise\, educate and delight. Plus\, it wouldn’t be a drag event without a glorious dance number at the end!

SUMMARY:The Real Story in Puberty Blockers
DESCRIPTION:Dame Dr Sue Bagshaw will led a Spirited Conversation\, as she care-fully explores this important topic. The government’s proposed ban on ‘puberty blockers’ has not gone away. In December the High Court was convinced to grant an urgent injunction to temporaily suspend the ban\, but the courts are yet to make a substantive decision. So it’s important that we understand the full story. What is science and what is moral panic? How can we best support our young people?

SUMMARY:Sleaze Night - Pride Edition (Strictly R18)
DESCRIPTION:Sleaze Party is the big one — the wild\, filthy\, full-throttle Menfriends classic. It’s huge\, it goes off\, and honestly… if you don’t get lucky at Sleaze\, you’re probably not trying. \nIt hits every first Saturday of the month from 7pm–3am\, and the crowd skews younger and gets busy early\, so don’t stroll in at 1am expecting a warm-up. By then\, the place is already heaving. \nExpect hot guys everywhere in Nude\, Fetish\, or Jocks\, bodies moving\, energy high\, and the whole venue buzzing. Our DJ keeps the place pumping all night\, adding that extra layer of heat that makes Sleaze famous. \nPlus there are free goodies and Lucky Locker Draws\, so you’ll want to be in the mix from the start. \nSometimes you’ve just got to let go and dive in. Sleaze is that night at Menfriends — so get down\, get dirty\, and get here.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Body: Queer Spirituality & Embodied Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming the Body: Queer Spirituality & Embodied Wellbeing \nMany people across the LGBTQIA+ community have experienced the body as a site of regulation\, shame\, or disconnection. This workshop offers a space to question those inherited narratives and reconnect with the body on our own terms. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how spirituality and wellbeing can support presence\, sovereignty\, and belonging — not as tools for self-improvement\, but as personal and collective practices that help us feel safer\, more connected\, and more present in our bodies. \nThe gathering will combine a short talk with a gentle\, guided embodied practice designed to support grounding\, integration\, and a deeper sense of being at home in yourself. \n  \nAttendance is limited to 25 people\, please register with your Name and Phone Number by emailing Wellness Nomadz at wellnessnomadz@transcendya.com
