Who will you be tonight?

Welcome to Third Rodeo's Lesbian/Queer Social Gathering, A BIG Lesbian/Queer Gathering. A grand social networking function to yarn, flirt, make mates - the night is yours. There are limited spots available.

EVENT DETAILS:

7.00 PM - 12.00 AM ⭐

Come join us on the evening of Saturday 21 June at New Britannia, Darlington. It is a casual, but charming atmosphere, privately booked out for you to socialise among the Lesbian/Queer/Trans+ community. Grab your bloody shiraz or Coke no sugar from the bar and turn strangers into dearest companions.

Event Breakdown:

We'll greet ya at the door, tick ya name off and give you a name card.

★ Name Game: You never know who you'll meet. Get given a guests name upon arrival and make it your mission to find them. There’s a question on the back to ask them if you’d like. This game creates chatter, banter and memories. The connections are boundless.

Note: Once you ask someone their name, even if it is NOT your person, you should exchange questions (-:

★ Call me cards: Keep in contact with each other. Write your details down on one of the 'Call me Cards' displayed around the venue. It's a lovely gesture, an old fashion trick that works like charm!

★ Put some tracks on: Later in the evening, let's get together and have a little dance.

★ Pool table available!

Third Rodeo Background

At Third Rodeo, we believe in creating a warm and inviting space for the Lesbian and Queer community to thrive. Our events are designed specifically for individuals in their 20s and up, providing a dedicated environment where you can make meaningful connections.

Our philosophy is simple. We are your Third home.

Whether you come solo or with friends, or if its your First or Third Rodeo, you’ll find our atmosphere relaxed, charming, and just a little bit cheeky! We’re all about bringing people together, and we’re thrilled to have hosted successful events in Naarm/Melbourne, Gadigal Land/Sydney, Meanjin/Brisbane and Boorloo/Perth. Many of my own beautiful queer friendships have blossomed from these gatherings, and I can’t wait for you to experience the same.

I know it can be intimidating to show up alone, but trust me—you’re not alone in that feeling. Everyone is here for the same reason: to connect and find their community. You’ll quickly find that our crowd is warm, friendly, and welcoming!

Thank you for supporting our Lesbian/Non-Binary led small business. Your encouragement means the world to us, and I adore each and every one of you. I can’t wait to see you at our next event!

With love, Jessy.
