Join us on Friday 31 January 2025 when we take over the VIP Area of boutique LGBTQ+ venue ZODIAC BAR, for our exclusive WYBTD Social event where we socialise in a relaxed easy-going environment followed by Drag Cabaret
ZODIAC’s mission is to create welcoming, safe and inclusive venues & events for the LGBTQ+ community: https://zodiacbar.co.uk/
Satisfy your senses, embrace your curiosity and discover a new way to unlock the night. Zodiac is a Queer owned and managed venue with the best performances and nightlife London has to offer. Open 6 days a week and packed with experiences, great drinks and a mission to create a welcoming, safe and inclusive space for all
Our exclusive WYBTD Party only takes place once a month and usually includes:
- Social from 7:00
- Cabaret Show from 9:00
- Party the night way with dancing from 10:00
Please note that on Friday 31 January 2025 there is a Bollywood Party taking place in the Z-Club downstairs which is completely separate from our event (you need to buy different tickets for that), The WYBTD event will only take place upstairs.
Our evening will begin at 7:00pm with our exclusive use of the VIP Area of the ZODIAC BAR where WYBTD Members will be able to mingle and socialize as usual. Name tags will be provided to everyone and dedicated hosts will make introductions.
Advance Tickets = £5
(For entry before 10:00pm)
The first 20 people to arrive will receive a FREE Sambuca shot
Host: Michael R
The entire event will be fully hosted. Your friendly host, Michael R, is a veteran of more than 2,600 Meetup events (yes, literally!) making sure everyone is properly introduced and there are no cliques. WhatsApp him directly on 07549228398 if you are coming alone (like most of our members) so that he can look out for you and to make introductions.
ABOUT WYBTD:
Will You Be There Darling? Meetup Group has been running for more than 7 years, since April 2017
A WYBTD? social event is a party night like no other; it is primarily a ‘social mixer’ where everyone integrates in a relaxed, easy-going environment.
We have been organising WYBTD events at the ZODIAC Bar for the last 3 years, since February 2022
The "Will You Be There Darling?" (WYBTD) Meetup Group is one of the largest LGBT+ Meetup Groups in the world and currently has more than 8,100 members of the very targeted demographic of queer (gay, bisexual, trans, etc.) men who like to go out in LONDON and socialise in person
WYBTD is a FREE all-encompassing (covering all "tribes") grassroots community group for queer men who are looking for fun places to go out in LONDON and be entertained. No more missing out on fabulous events because you have no-one to go with or are reluctant to go alone. We try to facilitate face-to-face socialising in a meaningful way such as theatre, concerts, dance, comedy, cabaret etc. A lot of queer men are reluctant to venture out on their own so we provide a social alternative to the apps in order to get out and socialize as well as experience some culture in a friendly social group
WYBTD is a MEN ONLY Meetup Group covering all tribes from the pretentious culture vultures to the unapologetic trashy queens and everyone in between. Whether you are single, partnered or polyamorous there is something for everyone! We don't believe in gender stereotypes (such as masc/fem) or slut-shaming or body-shaming. We are all 'good gays' just maybe some are more shy or socially anxious than others.
We don’t believe in boxes, labels or tribes - we are all QUEER! We welcome all MSM (men who have sex with men) regardless of where you belong on the GBTQ+ spectrum. So you are welcome to join us regardless of your social background, income, colour, ethnicity, disability, HIV status, size, age, shape or even hairiness. None of us are equal until ALL of us are equal
We have been called the “non-judgemental” Meetup group and we are rather proud of that! We love ‘teenagers of all ages’ but we also love queers who want to act either their age or even older, which is why we have events for all ages and personalities. So let’s go out and do more things that make you forget to check your phone!
We believe in disconnecting (at least temporarily!) from our mobile-enabled, click-bait geo-social networks and reconnecting in a meaningful way through face-to-face socialising instead. After all, we live in our brilliant London culture bubble, where we're used to having access to the crème de la crème of entertainment every night of the week, so let's take advantage of it!
