Community Café: Queer Future & Festive Special!

Every month we join the LGBT Foundation for their Community Café! Come along for refreshments, chats, and board games in a friendly and chilled out space.

LGBT Foundation is a national charity based in Manchester working to empower LGBT+ people and communities.

Event information

We know how important connecting with other members of the LGBTQ+ community is. That’s why our café runs the first Saturday of every month from 12pm-4pm and is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community. We provide a warm, welcoming and friendly space for you to come together, and have a brew.

Whether you want to play boardgames and make new friends, have a quiet space to work, or even find out more about the support and services we offer as a health and wellbeing charity – the safe is place for you.

12:00 - 14:00 Be Part of History: Our Queer Future Consultation
In 2025, LGBT Foundation proudly marks 50 years of life-saving support, community empowerment, and relentless activism. As we conclude this milestone year, LGBT Foundation invites you to help shape Our Queer Future.
Building on 50 years of progress in LGBTQ+ rights, join us in envisioning queer hope and joy in 2050! This fun and interactive workshop will prompt you to reflect on your desired changes for LGBTQ+ equality over the next 25 years. We'll explore the future of queer healthcare, neighbourhoods, and a world without inequalities, encouraging you to share your aspirations. Your contributions will form part of a visual map of Our Queer Future, published next year!
Bring your imagination and we’ll supply the refreshments!
LGBT Foundation's 50th Anniversary is proudly supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and sponsored by Barefoot Wine. Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. 50 Years of Queer Hope and Joy is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to celebrate and share stories of LGBTQ+ communities and activism in the North West and beyond, from 1975 to the present day.

14:00 - 16:00 Festive Special
For the second half of the Café this month it'll be a festive special; with a little sparkly chaos. We'll have Christmas themed bingo, prizes to be won, and other games to be confirmed. If you have any games or ideas for what you love this time of year we'd love for you to share!
There's no forced fun here though, if you don't want to take part that's okay too.
