This is a shout out for everyone who was lucky enough to get a ticket for our Sold Out Cabaret of Curiosities… Of course we’d love you to come, but if you aren’t able to make it, please let us know. We have strictly limited numbers in the venue and we want to squeeze any many happy faces into our audience as possible!

Also…don’t forget:

⭐️ Doors at 7pm - please come early so we we can make sure everyone has a drink (if you want one) and is seated before the show starts at 7.30pm.

⭐️Dress Code is Fabulous - wear whatever makes you feel mighty fine!

⭐️ Bring your £1s for the Tombola of Curiosities! You will not want to miss out!

See you Friday you Fabulous, Curious Lot!

In August it will be one year since Big Q***r Fringe, Scarborough was nothing more than a twinkle in our collective eye.

In that year we’ve hosted an immersive walk, some curious cabarets, a q***r club night, singing, creative writing and crafting events, enjoyed copious amounts of tea, cake and conversations … and spread rather a lot of q***r joy along the way!

Most importantly, we’ve brought together a gorgeous community of LGBTQ+ people, friends and allies. Yes - you!

So, how better for the Big Q***r Collective to celebrate its birthday than by throwing a party?! (Yes…a beach party…we’re hopeful..it being August and all that! ☀️🤞)

Whether you’ve been with us from the start, attended an event, volunteered, performed, or cheered us on, we’d love you to come and celebrate with us.

Summer can get busy, so pop the date in your diary and watch this space - more details to follow.

If you attended our Cabaret of Curiosities last year, well….you know exactly what is in store! 👀 👏

If this is your first time…. you are about to discover why our ‘Tombola of Curiosities’ was such a big hit and why we simply had to bring it back!

(In fact, if we hadn’t, it would probably have bought a ticket and turned up anyway!)

We won’t say any more, just bring a pocket full of pound coins. Trust us … you will not want to miss out!!

Please arrive at 7pm to get a drink, take your seat and maybe even get in a little Tombola action, before the show starts at 7.30pm.

⭐️Sorry - this Q***r Cabaret Night is Sold out!⭐️

Sorry!! Our Cabaret of Curiosities is well and truly SOLD OUT! 😭🥳🌈💖

If you have been lucky enough to have grabbed yourself a ticket here is some information about the venue accessibility.

We always aim to make our events as accessible as possible, not always easy in some of Scarborough’s old buildings, but if there is anything that we can do aid your comfort at our events, please let us know.
