Lesbian Singles, Mix & Mingle

Sat, Jun 6 · 5:00 PM AEST

The 86, 185 Smith Street, Fitzroy, 3065, Melbourne, AU

Tickets ($10):
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989156666135?aff=oddtdtcreator

Tired of dating apps and craving something more human?
We’re heading to The 86 in Fitzroy for a fresh take on helping you connect with women seeking women (all ages 18+).

Instead of intense one-on-one chats, you’ll connect in relaxed groups of four - making it easier to find your rhythm, bounce off others, and let conversation flow naturally.

Every 15 minutes, we’ll reshuffle the groups at random to keep the energy fresh and the dynamics interesting.

After a couple of hours, the structure will drop and anyone who’d like to stay can continue connecting organically.

This format is ideal for women who:
• Prefer something social and low-pressure
• Enjoy group dynamics
• Want something structured, but not rigid

The event is facilitated by a mental health professional and is designed to feel welcoming and safe.

Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated.

If you have accessibility needs, questions, or are experiencing financial hardship, please reach out - we’re happy to chat.

For some of us it’s not always easy to leave the house, so we’ve created a more accessible way to connect.

Join us online for a relaxed hour as we bring together people from across the queer community to chat, connect, and take part in a guided shared activity.

This session will feature Esther Perel discussion cards designed to spark thoughtful, meaningful conversation.

This is also a great way to get a feel for the vibe of LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne without needing to buy a ticket or attend one of our in-person events first.

Attendance is free, but registrations are essential. Please register before 7pm on Monday 8 June - meeting links will be sent that evening or on the day of the event.

Camera participation is completely optional, and we ask that everybody treats one another with kindness and respect. Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated.

We are a Melbourne-based community, but welcome all queer people Australia-wide to join us.

It's not a real competition! Just two rooms booked for dinner.
Please join us at Welcome to Brunswick for a social dinner. We have two rooms at the front of the venue booked; one for men seeking men, and one for women seeking women.

Your ticket includes a curated selection from the small bites menu, and some chips shared at the table. For those looking for a more substantial dinner on top of what's included, there are great options available on the menu.

Whether you're looking for new friends, romantic connections, or just a fun night out, we'd love to welcome you to join us.

This event is casual and relatively unstructured; great for people who want to chat to strangers over a bite to eat and some drinks.

Tickets are strictly limited to 16 people per room. If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know after purchasing your ticket (lgbtsocial@kind-mind.au).
