Queer polyamory social London

November 21 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm GMT

Please join us at the Foxglove in Islington for the queer polyamorous social! 

Find a community of queer polyamorous people to make new friends  

Follow us on instagram @queer_and_polyamorous_socials for more info. 

The social is run by Tricia (she/they), Sophia (she/her), Rachel (she/her), Erin (she/they), Ellexo (they/she), Maiara (she/her), Alaska (they/she), Lou (they/he), Amanda (she/him), Christian (they/them)

 

Important information: The chat and the events are for people who are queer and polyamorous (or questioning whether they are). If you are not queer and polyamorous (or questioning and looking to find out more), you are welcome to join us only if you are accompanied by a person who is and needs someone to go to the social with. 

Please do not use the social for cruising and unicorn-hunting!

Queer polyamory drinks doesn’t want racism, transphobia, ableism, antisemitism, fatphobia, and whorephobia at their events. 

Please introduce yourself with your name and pronouns. 

 

Access information

  1. The social involves unstructured and unfacilitated talking to queer and polyamorous people. Should you be anxious to socialise, at least one host will be present to help include you in the group, so simply chat to us if we should help you break the ice. We the hosts/organisers also bring books, games, stim toys, and other stuff for neurodivergent people to have something to do other than talking, if that’s hard. Also: Neurodivergent people who gel better with other neurodivergent people – there are plenty of us 🙂 
  2. There’s an access ramp leading up to the door but no accessible toilet unfortunately. No stairs within the venue though and staff are always happy to help if anyone has any additional needs.
  3. The Foxglove has two sets of toilets, the one with urinals is typically considered the men’s but at the Foxglove they firmly believe anyone should be able to use whatever toilet they’re most comfortable with. The “ladies'” has gender neutral signage as well as traditional signage, both sets of loos have rainbow flags on the doors.
  4. Volume levels almost entirely depend on how busy they are, they don’t play crazy loud music and have a (generally) quieter outside area. (Bring earplugs if you have them/might want them for noise in case you’re sensitive)
  5. Some socials include activities (such as doodling) for which accessibility information will be announced separately. These activities will always be in additional to socialising so if you cannot (or do not want to) participate in those activities for some reason, there is always something else to do 
  6. For accessibility needs and feedback on what we could do to become more accessible, please contact the hosts on their instagram page @queer_and_polyamorous_socials
