Queer Cinema

Queer Cinema is a movie night dedicated to celebrating queer stories of love, loss, joy and history.

Every month we will be screening a film with drinks and snacks provided. Bring your chosen family and enjoy this special night!

October's film cannot be named due to copyright restrictions however here is a description of the film to give you a clue.

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

Brad and Janet have just got engaged and are on their way to share the good news with their old teacher Dr. Scott, when they break down near an old house. Owned by a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania, Dr Frank-N-Furter, who has been making a man with blond hair and a tan.
Get ready to do the time warp again and celebrate the incredible life of Tim Curry in arguably his most iconic role.

There will be call and response with props so expect noise and mess!
