The award-winning virtual party and community platform is back on Christmas Day so that no matter where or how you are spending it, you can get weird at a queer party with all your faves.
Host Liv Wynter and DJs Harry Gay, Wacha and Passer will be streaming a four-hour queer rave featuring performances from Baby, Shakona Fire, Victoria Rose, Jada Love, Romeo De La Cruz - with more to be announced.
We’re making a conscious effort to ensure this party will not be Christmas themed. This holiday carries a lot of trauma for members of our community. Harry also hates themes, capitalism AND Christmas music. Will there be Santa hats? NO. Will there be strippers and drag queens? YES!
We know too well that the Christmas period can be an already isolating time for people in our community. With Covid restrictions throughout December limiting the amount of time that we can spend in queers spaces with our chosen families this year is going to be tough. We wanted to create this space for queer people who are alone and wanna get slaggy on Christmas Day!
As always, our parties are free entry and hosted on Zoom. But drop us a donation to help keep the party going! Check our socials for the link just before the party starts, or get a free ticket from OutSavvy so the link lands straight in your inbox.
See you there!

What is Queer House Party?
Born on the first Friday of lockdown, Queer House Party started with the aim of bringing solidarity and release to our community. You can share your video, chat with other guests, and REVEL in the sheer queer beauty of our house party.
Featured in Dazed and Confused, Vice, Pitchfork, Bricks, NME, Time Out London, The Guardian, BBC, Channel 4, Pink News, Run Riot, and QX Magazine. And loads more we can’t keep track!

How does Queer House Party work?
- Just before we go live at 21.00 we’ll send out a link on our socials that will transport you into the party via The Outside Project's online community centre.
- You can choose to share your video and dance along or just watch everyone else partying.
- We're also broadcasting LIVE on QHP Radio - so tune in and get that high-quality audio.
- You can also chat with other party guests in the main thread or send private messages.
- We’ll be joined by performers each week who are spotlighted as a full screen, meaning we can all watch together.
