JOIN PERFORMER AND ACTIVIST DAN DE LA MOTTE IN A DEEP-DIVE OF HACKNEY'S MOLLY HOUSES AT NEWINGTON GREEN MEETING HOUSE FOR LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH 2023
In the 1700s a Molly House was a gay/queer pub, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern or Glory of its day, but it was much more than this as well. It was a community space, a ceremonial space, a space for gender and sexual exploration and play and mischief, and a safe space as well. Join Dan de la Motte for an exploration of these incredible spaces and their significance, and how Mollies revelled in their existence while hiding in plain sight.
