📍 Location: Rambler @ Drifter Hotel

Note: Accessibility info coming soon – please check back or contact us directly if you have specific needs.

🎶 Sound & Space:
 Music will be kept at a comfortable volume to allow for easy conversation and focused crafting. Quiet spaces will be available for those who need a low-stimulation environment. Feel free to bring personal noise-cancelling items.

🏳️‍🌈 Queer-Centred, Everyone Welcome:
 We centre queer modes of gathering, creativity, and community building. This is a space for connection, dialogue, and supporting one another—open to all who respect and celebrate these values.

🧵 Want to Host or Share?
 Got a skill, idea, or social group to share? We'd love to hear from you! We welcome workshops, group discussions, and pop-up tables. If your activity requires materials, we’re happy to explore low-cost options to support accessibility.
