Coffee Posse Edinburgh

A monthly in-person meetup for LGBT+ people aged 50 and over in Edinburgh

A safe space for LGBT+ people who are 50 and over to have a brew and a blether. Come catch up with old friends or make new connections every second Wednesday of the month.

Please Note: We will be back in the 'Big Duncan' Room, which is on the ground floor.

Who we welcome

This meetup is for people aged 50 and over.

We welcome the entire diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. This includes those who are questioning or exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.
