Queer Socials are Back!!!!
Brought to you by the DIY Pride Reading team 🥳
Our first Queer Social of the summer will be on Friday 06 June 2025, starting at 5.30pm
Category is: fun and games!
Bring your own park-friendly games and snacks (our team will also provide some of each) to Abbey Sculpture (what 3 words: fixed.stand.narrow), where we will have picnic blankets ready to go.
📍 The location has step-free access (see map below, with step-free routes highlighted in yellow, and a circled ‘X’ makes the spot).
☀️ As the light begins to wane and the air cools, we will head over to The Outlook (on Kings Road) for more fun and games. Our resident quiz team captain has written a fun queer quiz to whet your metaphorical queer historical and pop cultural appetite for a whole month of Pride and to celebrate queer past, present, and futures. No previous quiz experience is needed.
🎟️ Book your tickets in advance to let us know you are coming. If you don’t book a ticket, we will not know to expect you! Please email us (diypriderdg (at) proton (dot) me) to let us know if you have specific access needs or questions about the event so that we can best support your attendance and participation. We won’t be monitoring our Instagram account during the event, so use email instead if you need to contact us.
👋 If this is your first Reading Queer Social and don’t know anyone, say hi to one (or more) of our team members: Tegan, Laura, Eliza and Vanessa.
Additional information:
- The closest toilets are at The Outlook (on Kings Road).
