Facebook version of event
//BANDS-DJs-ZINES-HAIRCUTS-FUN TIMES!//
It’s January! The best time of the year. Christmas comedowns are a
thing of the past. Onwards to the future! Just for you we have an
evening of live music followed by incredible DJs, plus a mini
intersectional zine fair, and of course, haircuts!
We have been
offered a permament home in Hackney, and we are fundraising to cover
the legal costs, and the renovations to make it fully accessible
(including an accessible bathroom) and ready to welcome all the lovely
queers from London and beyond. Our new space will be much bigger,
offering more haircuts, and more free and queer friendly hangout space.

Raffle tickets will be sold at the event for £2.50 each or £10 a strip! We will have a table of amazing prizes.
If you receive an unwanted Christmas present, you can enter our raffle
by swapping your gift for a raffle ticket. Your unwanted gift will be
entered into the raffle and you could (potentially) win back, I dont
know, like a pogo stick or a the collected works of Jane Austen? Who
knows! Let’s hope you don’t win back your own gift though… that would be
silly.
