Ordinary Stories is a storytelling event for the LGBTQ+ community, to share experiences and conversation, and connect with others in a casual and intimate setting.
We welcome all forms of storytelling: stories, poems, songs, or unplanned rambles. You can sign up to read via the form here. There will also be a sign up sheet on the night. If you change your mind after signing up, not to worry, you're still welcome to come and just enjoy the event.
Follow us on instagram @_ordinarystories to keep updated and find out about our future events.
This next theme is ?CURIOSITY!!!
Some ideas for things to talk about: a question you want to ask someone; the strangest thing someone's said to you; what you do at midnight before you sleep; curiosity as connection; the weirdest place you've been on a date; how you stay interested in people; your unusual hobbies; a time you were pleasantly surprised; the first question you ask people when you meet them; small talk that isn't small -
Anything that makes you curious, or anything that has come from curiosity!
We're also going to have a very exciting featured speaker and will share details on this soon. Looking forward to seeing you all!

Ordinary Stories is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community and we welcome allies as audience members.

Venue Information
Salt the Radish will have drinks and a small selection of snacks available to buy, we are also happy for visitors to bring food in during the event
There is a single step into the café and a ramp available to use
Unfortunately, space is limited within the café and, while there are no steps to the toilet, it is a very small room with no grab rails rails or accessibility adaptations and can just about fit a small wheelchair inside.
There is free parking on Blackstock Road, Monsell Road and Finsbury Park Road. The closest tube station is Finsbury Park (Victoria and Piccadilly Lines, Northern City and Thameslink) and nearest overground is Crouch Hill, which is a 16 minute walk/13 minute bus ride to Salt the Radish
