The Big Butch Picnic returns for another year and it’s promising to be bigger and butchier than ever.

Sunday June 7th 2026
Cannon Hill Park
1pm start

Last year we had an incredible picnic that you all turned up for; bringing your well-behaved pets, games and food to share! It was so successful we’ve decided to host another one next month and we’d love to see you all there again.

This is a sober event and 18+! Please bring clearly labelled food & drinks to share; we’ll be bringing a cooler with soft drinks and ice packs + bin bags & napkins.

Please DM to join the WhatsApp community as we will post the exact location and more details there.

This event is part of the Alt Pride calendar, check out to see all the other cool events going on over the next month.

ACCESSIBILITY:
- The exact location of the picnic will be decided on the day, but will be within a few minutes walk of the public toilets in the MAC & no more than 20 metres from the level path. We aim for this to be wheelchair accessible.
- Seating is not available but we encourage you to bring chairs/camping chairs/stools etc for your own use.
- We are open to feedback around accessibility - drop us a DM.

- Organising & running events
- Talking to venues
- Social media
- Keeping an eye on the Ahatsapp group
- Admin
- Being a point of contact/familiar face for people to talk to/raise concerns with

We’d love to know who you are & what you want to bring to the team!

We would be especially grateful to hear from trans people, POC & disabled people interested in joining the dadmins.
