Hate gentrification, expensive hipster cafes, and big corporates and chains? Love Hackney, local venues and you’re a raging homo (or dyke/trans/non-binary/queer…)?
Then BOHOMO PLACE is for you!
On Saturday 22 August, we’re taking over Bohemia Place in Hackney Central to offer an LGBTQIA+ Community Day alongside our friends at Queertopia, Paper Dress Vintage and Hackney Church Brew.
- From 1pm till 3am!
- All the activities are FREE!
- Bar open from 1pm. Come have a drink!
This event is part of our SOFT launch series. We have now reached our minimum target in our crowdfunder to be able to open! (BIG OPENING 28 AUG). We are still fundraising… Can you help us reach our stretch target HERE?
Another way to support us is to just come down and have a drink (or several!) at the Joiners Heart from 1pm.
