Birmingham Fetishmen: The Second C*mming
BFM is back! We are returning (almost) to where it all began, Eden Bar. This is an event for gay/bi men into fetish.

See Website for Details.
SCSSR: first cut
SCSSR: a new era of lesbian nightlife for Birmingham.
We know you’ve been waiting – now it’s finally here. Welcome to SCSSR, the party redefining lesbian nightlife and community in the West Midlands.
SCSSR isn’t just a night out, it’s a movement. A celebration of gender non-conformity. A space for dykes to dance, chat, link and flirt in an atmosphere that is bold, unapologetic and full of fire. Whether you’re rolling with your crew or stepping out solo, this is where you will find your people.
To set the vibe, the music will be lowered for the first hour, giving you the perfect chance to mingle before the night kicks off (perfect for solo partygoers). Then, we turn it up with a banging soundtrack from Birmingham legend DJ Soriah, serving up beats to keep you moving all night long.
This event is for dykes, femmes, butches, lesbians, bi’s, trans and non-binary, and generally wlw people. We kindly ask that you help us to hold this space and do not bring cis-male guests.
SCSSR is more than a party – it’s a movement. Are you in? x
