It’s part playful social\, part cosy night out. Think: play ful party meets cosy queer hangout\, with icebreaker games\, conversation prompts\, and plenty of space to just chat. You join at your own pace: fli rt\, make friends\, or just sip a drink and people-watch.We’re proudly L GBTQ+ inclusive\, ENM-friendly\, sex-positive\, and consent-led — but yo u don’t need to be any of those things (except queer 🏳️‍🌈) to come along. All you need is kindness\, curiosity\, and a willingness to me et new people.Is it trans & non-binary inclusive?Always. Flirt Club is pro udly trans\, non-binary\, genderfluid\, intersex and questioning-inclusive . This is a space where your pronouns are respected\, your identity is val id\, 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.

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 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.
