Do you enjoy board games? Or are you interested in meeting more people from the LGBTQ+ community? Then come join Colchester Pride at the Dice and a Slice Café for a very informal evening of chat and Ga(y)mes!

We are thrilled to be partnering with Dice and a Slice to offer this FREE monthly event to our community!

We know not everyone in the community wants to go to pubs/clubs etc so we are aiming to bring you a variety of events where you can meet new friends and connect with the vibrant LGBTQ+ folk we have here in Colchester. However you identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, we are here to provide you a safe, welcoming and fun space!

There won’t be set games to play, it will be decided on people’s interests on the night.

Attendance and game play is FREE! Just book your place at the link in our bio!
Refreshments can be brought from the wonderful Dice and a Slice team.
