A Queer Georgian Social Season: The Grand Opening. A Spa is Born; Seeking Pleasure in Hampstead

Join us at Burgh House for the grand opening of our first annual Queer Georgian Social Season as we take you back to a time when queers were more visible and accepted than you thought.

The evening will feature performances of Handel's music by Les Bougies Baroques, a workshop with social designer and applied artist Warren Reilly, and appearances from drag artists Adam All, Apple Derrières, and Lasana Shabazz. All you are required to do is leave your preconceptions at the door, help yourself to some Georgian punch from the bar and come as yourself – with or without bells on!

The Queer Georgian Social Season is conceived & curated by Ian Peter Bugeja & Mark Francis-Vasey.
