Serving food for your mind, tummy, and soul on the 25th, w/ a discussion on ‘Club Commons’ from 5:30pm, vegan & gf food from 7pm, and a big sexy dance from 8 🍜
🍊Join us at Bridge Farm on 25th April for the Bristol book launch of Club Commons by Anjali Prashar-Savoie:
“Queer communities have long transformed parties into something powerful: spaces where care flourishes, injustice gets challenged, and new worlds are danced into being. But today, DJs command huge fees while behind-the-scenes workers earn below minimum wage. Corporations profit from our culture while communities that created these spaces are displaced. As venues shut and workers burn out, it’s clear that something has gone deeply wrong.
Club Commons: Moving Bodies to Grow Movements in Queer Nightlife and Beyond by Anjali Prashar-Savoie takes you inside hidden stories of resistance and reinvention. We meet the people reshaping nightlife from below: abolitionist security teams creating safety without police, sober raves doubling as mental health support, radical childcare at parties, venues becoming worker cooperatives, and free party crews reclaiming public space. Through their work, we see how party-throwing skills build movements, how refusing to play changes everything, and why protecting queer nightlife means transforming who owns it.”
Tickets and more details are on Headfirst / the link in our bio 🤝

Throw on yer Saturday best, we’re off to church 💒
That’s right it’s the 2nd instalment of Missco: The Downtempo Mix, our series offering softer queer dancefloors.
♨️ The winter edition will be once more on the urban fringes, hidden away in a converted 17th-century church in Bedminster. Here you’ll find a warm space that blurs the boundaries between utopian living room and dancefloor where connecting, lounging, dancing, eating, sipping, reading, sharing + flirting are all encouraged.
🪈 13th December, 5pm-10pm our DJs will be filling St Dunstan’s House with slower and softer sounds, moving from sensual downtempo tones towards more euphoric, danceable moments. Tunes provided by Molly A + Missco residents.
🍶 The church will be full of soft furnishings, rugs and cushions, with a small dancefloor. As well as a bar, our magical herbal tea witch will be peddling brews to suit your moods, raising funds for local trans healthcare. We also have you covered for food - the missco kitchen will be serving filling bowls of gf and vegan food using locally sourced fresh veg from Bristol-based growing projects, and reinvesting any profit into those projects.
❤️🩹 This event is an effort to focus on comfort, connection and restorative community care. These values feel especially present for us lately, as too often the world is feeling unsafe and alienating for our queer and trans family.
📌 Our community noticeboard will be returning (!!) so bring business cards, flyers, missed connections, info about actions, etc. Printouts of lesbian histories will be available in the space to read, and we will be continuing our work to archive the Misscoteque dancefloor.
Tickets live on Headfirst now 🔗
