3 clubs and groups you can join, with training nights, fees and the beginner route into each.
Badge-making drop-ins out of reused books and magazines, three times a week across London: Sundays at The Common Press in Dalston and first Saturdays at QueerSwap Studio in Vauxhall, pay what you like, and Fridays in Pimlico, free. Open to everyone and run for people who are LGBTQ+, disabled, neurodivergent or short of money. Over 150 sessions since 2023.
North · Sun, Sat, Fri · Free · Beginners
A scrapbooking and zine-making workshop on the first Tuesday of the month at Dalston Superstore, run by ManosQueer, a trans and non-binary owned print studio that works in lino and hand-drawn prints. Pay what you can, up to £10, materials in the room. Running since May 2026.
East · Tue · Beginners
An LGBTQ+ led arts, health and social action charity with its own space on the Greenwich Peninsula: workshops, talks, a programme of exhibitions and, from October 2026, a Queer Community Library open through autumn and winter to read, listen and meet in. Most of the public events are free.
South · Beginners
New clubs, changed training nights, and the occasional weekend. No more than that.
A weekend away with a group of gay men, and nothing to prove.
