Join us for an evening of cake, cabaret, and creativity as we take over Hackney’s gorgeous queer-owned wine bar Love Affair Basement on May 16th.
Hosted by the SW&K collective, we facilitate the protection and collaboration of SWers, performers, event organisers and business owners in the field of k!nk. All funds raised will go towards life-changing gender affirming vocal surgery for our beloved community member Angel.
Expect chill-out areas with comfy seating and space to socialise, or join us on the dancefloor with DJ sets throughout the night!
✨ What's on:
- A cabaret lineup serving the best of drag, burlesque and spoken-word poetry
- Independent queer makers + artist stalls
- A specially curated life drawing session
- Decadent slices of cake to satisfy your sweet tooth
- Signature cocktails, wine, spirits and soft drinks available from the bar all evening

This entrance is on the same level as the WCs. There are three WCs in total, two with accordion doors and one slightly larger with a sliding door.

As a collective founded by and in support of the SW community, this will be an inclusive, sex positive event for all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, however this is not a play event. The dress code is casual, but feel free to dress up in whatever makes you feel the most fabulous!
