We have had to take the disappointing decision to postpone Friday nights LGBTQ+ night that was teamed up with Shepton On Show due to the weather warnings that have been issued. We know this will come as a huge disappointment to a lot of people and we are sorry for that.

Our next LGBTQ+ night will be held on Saturday 21st November and will hopefully feature the same line up of Drag Queens from the Haus of Silk.

Apologies again and we hope to see you all soon.

It is with very heavy hearts that we have made the incredibly difficult decision to postpone Shepton On Show until next year.

We have been keeping a very close eye on the weather conditions and have been in constant contact with our performers. After much thought and consideration, we feel this is the safest and most responsible decision.

The safety of our performers, volunteers, and everyone attending is, and always will be, our number one priority.

We are absolutely devastated to have to make this announcement, especially knowing how much hard work, time and love has gone into planning this special event.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, helped behind the scenes and shared in our excitement. Your support means the world to us.
