Lesbian & Bisexual Alliance

Looking to meet more lesbian and bisexual women without leaving home?
Join our weekly Zoom mingle, where women from across the UK and around the world come together to chat, make friends and build genuine connections.

Women usually come from their 20s through to their 60s. There is always a mix of new and returning faces, and most women join on their own. You won't feel like you've walked into an established group.

Whether you're looking to make new friends, expand your social circle or simply spend an evening around other women, you'll be very welcome.

You are welcome to keep your camera on or off throughout the event.

For safeguarding purposes, we ask new attendees to briefly switch their camera on at the start so our hosts can confirm everyone is a woman. Once that's done, you're free to turn your camera off if you prefer.

Who Can Attend
This event is exclusively for biological females.
To help maintain a safe female-only space, new attendees will be briefly verified at the start of the meeting.

Good to Know
• Most women attend alone, especially the first time.
• There is a relaxed mix of conversation and getting to know each other.
• There are always hosts present throughout the evening.
• If you're feeling nervous, that's completely normal. Many women
come once just to see what it's like and then become regulars.

What this is
In-person speed friending night for women who want to meet other women without apps or awkward small talk.

You’ll have short one-to-one chats that rotate every few minutes, followed by time to stay and talk with anyone you click with.

Most women come on their own. That’s normal here. The format takes the pressure off and makes it easy to settle in, even if you’re a bit nervous at first.

This is friending first. Anything else happens naturally.

It’s a standing event with short conversations, followed by open social time. You don’t need to prepare anything or know what to say.
You won’t be put on the spot, and you won’t be left awkwardly standing around.

If you’ve been wanting to meet more women in real life, this is a good place to start.

Most speed friending events have around 25 women attending.

What this is
A relaxed, social pool night for lesbian and bisexual women.

You don’t need to be good at pool and it’s not competitive. Some women play properly, some mostly chat, some do a bit of both. Most women come on their own. That’s normal here, and it doesn’t feel awkward or cliquey once you’re there.

The games run for around an hour and a half, and most people stay on afterwards for drinks.

Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most weeks it’s a genuine mix of new faces and returning women.

If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected.

Most pool nights have around 20 women attending.

Tickets
£16 per person. Places are limited so the night stays calm and social.

If you’re planning to come, it’s best to book sooner rather than later.

What this is
A relaxed Sunday afternoon book club for lesbian and bisexual women, meeting in person.

This is our first event and we will discuss which book we plan to read. It’s low-pressure, calm, and easy to settle into the event.

Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most sessions are a genuine mix of new faces and returning women, so you won’t be the only person coming for the first time.

Most people come on their own. That’s normal here, and we make sure you don’t feel it. Hosts introduce people, keep things flowing, and make the space feel easy rather than awkward.

If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first book club and end up staying longer than they expected.

Current book club format
Book to be confirmed.

Bring along whatever you're currently reading, have recently finished, or are thinking about reading next. We'll chat about books, swap recommendations, and discuss what everyone has been enjoying.

If you'd like a suggestion, some members are currently reading:

1. My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein by Deborah Levy
2. All My Mothers by Joanna Glen

No preparation needed. Come whether you've read a lot recently or not. Listening, chatting, and discovering new books is just as welcome as discussing one you've loved.

Important
This is a female-only lesbian space.
That boundary is clear and upheld at events.
If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event.
