A queer space for flirting and friendship
Thursday 29th October, 7:30–10:30pm
Halloween is famously gay Christmas. Obviously, we're celebrating.
Flirt Club is back for a very queer Halloween, full of flirting, friendship, connection and a little bit of spooky season mischief.
For one night, we're giving your favourite Flirt Club activities a Halloween makeover, with tricks, treats, games and plenty of playful ways to meet someone new. Expect costumes, spooky surprises and a room full of ghouls who just wanna have fun.
Whether you're looking for a new crush, a Halloween kiss, new friends, something more, or simply some lovely queer people to spend the evening with, there's room for you.
As always, this isn't awkward speed dating or forced matchmaking. It's a relaxed LGBTQ+ social and dating night with playful activities, good drinks and plenty of space to actually talk to people and connect in whatever way feels right to you.
Come solo (most do!) or bring your pals. Come looking for friendship, flirting, romance, community, someone to get into trouble with, or simply a fun queer Halloween night out.
Come for the flirting. Stay for the friendships.
Welcome to Flirt Club. Flirty, friendly, fun.

Outfit suggestions
Each Flirt Club has a theme, and this month it's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun.
Halloween costumes are enthusiastically encouraged, but we're firmly in the anything goes school of Halloween dressing.
Vampires. Witches. Ghosts. Monsters. Queer icons. Cult film characters. Something creepy. Something camp. Something inexplicably sexy. An extremely niche costume that requires a five minute explanation. Or just an outfit that makes you feel bloody good.
Go all out, add a pair of devil horns on the way in, or completely ignore the theme.
As always, dressing up is completely optional. There's no expectation to wear a costume or look a certain way.

FAQs
What is Flirt Club?
Flirt Club is a queer space for flirting, friendship, and connection. It’s part playful social, part cosy night out. Think: playful party meets cosy queer hangout, with icebreaker games, conversation prompts, and plenty of space to just chat. You join at your own pace: flirt, make friends, or just sip a drink and people-watch.
We’re proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive, ENM-friendly, sex-positive, and consent-led — but you don’t need to be any of those things (except queer 🏳️🌈) to come along. All you need is kindness, curiosity, and a willingness to meet new people.
Is it trans & non-binary inclusive?
Always. Flirt Club is proudly trans, non-binary, genderfluid, intersex and questioning-inclusive. This is a space where your pronouns are respected, your identity is valid, and your joy is celebrated.
Can heterosexual cis men come?
Straight men allies, we love you but to truly foster the safe queer vibes we want at Flirt Club, we ask you sit this one out. Flirt Club is a space made by and for queer people. Whether you’re questioning, trans, bi, ace, gay, pan or somewhere in-between, you’re welcome here.
Do I have to be single to come?
Not at all! Flirt Club isn’t just for people looking to date, it’s for anyone who wants to meet new queer people and feel part of a community. Come single, partnered, poly, curious, heartbroken, or “it’s complicated.” You set your own boundaries — flirt, friend, or just vibe.
Do I have to flirt? What if I just want to make friends?
You never have to flirt. Flirt Club is just as much about friendship as it is about romance or sex. You can spend the whole night making new pals, joining games, or having deep chats. Flirt if you want to, friend if you don’t.
I’m coming alone — will I feel awkward?
We get it, walking into a room alone can feel scary. The good news? Loads of people come solo, and the night is designed exactly for that. There are games, gentle prompts, “curiosity corners” and hosts to help get you chatting. You won’t be the only one flying solo, and you probably won’t leave that way!
Is this a speed dating event?
Nope — no timers, no forced small talk. This isn’t speed dating. It’s more like a playful queer social with optional icebreakers, games and cosy spaces to chat at your own pace. If a conversation gets good, you’re free to stay with it.
What should I wear?
Each Flirt Club has a theme, and this month it's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun. Halloween costumes are enthusiastically encouraged, but we're firmly in the anything-goes school of Halloween dressing. Vampires, witches, ghosts, monsters, queer icons, cult film characters, something creepy, something camp, something inexplicably sexy, or an extremely niche costume that requires a five-minute explanation. Go all out, add a pair of devil horns, or simply wear something that makes you feel great. There's no pressure to dress up or expectation to look a certain way – come exactly as you are.
What age range is it for?
Flirt Club is open to all adults aged 18+. Most people tend to be in their 20s, 30s and 40s, but we welcome all ages, as long as you’re respectful, open-minded and ready to connect.
I don’t drink alcohol. Is that OK?
Absolutely. There’s zero pressure to drink. The Archives has a gorgeous menu with cocktails available classic strength, one unit or alcohol free, plus non-alcoholic wines and beers and softs, so everyone’s covered.
We’ll even have a Flirt Club cocktail special (both alcoholic and alcohol free). Ordering a drink is also a lovely way to support our host venue and help keep nights like this going.
Is the venue accessible?
The majority of our activities take place downstairs in the basement, which is only reachable by stairs. The ground floor of The Archives is wheelchair accessible, and you’ll be able to take part in some activities there. We are always happy to bring activities upstairs from the basement. If you have accessibility needs and want more info or support on the night, just drop us a message.
What if I feel uncomfortable or pressured?
Consent is the heartbeat of Flirt Club. All games and conversations are optional, and we ask everyone to get verbal consent before any physical contact, even hugs. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, or you just need a moment, come and speak to one of the hosts. We are here for you.
