What’s on this week
but make it queer!
Here at Queers of the North, we’re proud to shout about all the amazing LGBTQIA+ events happening across Newcastle and the North East, from inclusive sports clubs and book clubs to nightlife socials you don’t want to miss. Take this as your weekly guide, all in one place.

It’s Halloween week, so expect drag shows, spooky club nights and a Rocky Horror brunch, alongside the regular sports clubs, support groups and socials that run all year.
