🚨EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER🚨
Over the past few months we've seen anti-migrant rhetoric and action escalate from an already very hostile place. From various wannabe crusaders and fascists making the journey to Northern France to harrass displaced people; destroying boats, life jackets, attacking them and stealing their belongings to blatantly racist policy proposals and messaging coming from the government.
We've teamed up with Calais Appeal before, and we knew it was time we had to again. It's so necessary in this climate to reach beyond our community to support all those that are marginalised and at the sharp end of state oppression and violence.
So, we're supporting their winter fundraising drive by doing what we know best…
Getting a together a bunch of our pals, packing out a club with some of the most gorgeous queers and getting sweaty until the sun rises.
So that's exactly what we're going to do. 💋
Expect our classic DIY energy from a select line up of some of our nearest and dearest- QHP family vibes all night long to keep it pumping start to finish. 🥵
March 14th, 10pm-4am, Vespers Club, SE15
Full line up released soon.
Tickets are cheap & capacity is limited. So get yours in asap.

'At Calais Appeal, we are working hard to provide dignified and human support to people on the move at the UK–France border, as they will once again be forced to sleep rough during the freezing winter months. We treat people with respect, dignity and provide essential services - food, water, tents, specialist support for women and children…. the list goes on.. But these services are only possible if we receive the support we need.'

VENUE:
We're gassed to be hosting this event at Vespers Club for the first time ever. One of London's few trans+ run clubs at 133a Rye Ln, London SE15 4BQ.
ACCESS + WELFARE:
Vespers Club has step free access and the venue is partially wheelchair accessible. The wheelchair access is via a separate entrance and uses a lift to descend to the basement of the building where the club is located. The bar and accessible toilet have step free access. The dancefloor is sunken and is accessed via 5 steps down.
As this event has no performances, we'll have no BSL interpreters and no hearing induction loop will be installed. We have a welfare team, with one member trained in BSL. Free tickets are available for carers and personal assistants (PAs). If you have any questions, please email us at queerhouseparty@gmail.com.
TICKETS AND GUEST LIST:
Queer House Party is for everyone, but trans people to the front! We've worked hard to keep ticket prices affordable. Tickets are on a sliding scale from £7.50–£15. If cost is still a barrier for you, send us a message and we'll add you to our free list.
Low-income Tickets: These are for those receiving Universal Credit or equivalent, working-class students, and people earning minimum wage. They are limited, so please be mindful before purchasing.
General Admission Tickets: These are for those on a salary, students, comfortable freelancers, or those who are 'skint atm' but have some savings.
Solidarity Tickets: These tickets are for those financially stable enough that rent and bills aren't a daily struggle (this could be you—take a moment to reflect!).
Guest List and Discount Codes: If none of these options work for you, our guest list is reserved for people who can't afford ticket prices, particularly those with No Recourse to Public Funds. Email us at qhptickets@gmail.com, and we'll sort it out—no need to disclose any personal details about your situation.
Carer and Support Worker Tickets: Your ticket is free if you are coming as a support worker for a ticket holder.
VIPS: If you consider yourself a VIP, this probably isn't the party for you.
Refund Policy: To help keep our ticket prices affordable, we don't offer any refunds. However, you're welcome to sell your ticket on.
Queer House Party is all about celebrating everybody, no apologies, no filters. This is your space to be loud and 100% you. Mutual respect is a must, and consent isn't up for debate. We're here to build each other up and tear down anything that gets in the way of feeling safe and free.
Zero Tolerance Policy on Harassment and Discrimination
At Queer House Party, we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or abusive behaviour based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other personal characteristic. Anyone engaging in such behaviour will be asked to leave immediately. Consent is vital and non-negotiable.
Substance Policy
We encourage responsible alcoholic drinking and plenty of hydration. Our bar serves a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to suit all preferences. If you think you've had too much, reach out to our welfare team, who will be able to help. Aggressive or unsafe behaviour towards anyone will not be tolerated.
Entry Policy
You must bring your ID for entry. We also reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone whose actions or attitudes conflict with these values, ensuring that our event remains a welcoming environment for all.
