FLIRT CLUB: Into the Wild


Friendly ♥ flirty ♥ fun

A queer space for flirting, friendship, and connection.

January can feel long, grey, and soul-sucking, so we’re shedding the winter blues and stepping into something wild.

This month, Flirt Club goes full jungle: playful, curious, a little feral, and very, very flirty.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, spark a crush, or just shake off the cold with some warm queer energy, join us for another cosy, low-pressure LGBTQ+ social dating night filled with games, drinks, and playful jungle-themed vibes.

Wear whatever helps you tap into the theme: animal prints, vines, green eyeshadow, safari chic, creature-inspired glamour, or simply something that makes you feel a little wilder and more confident than usual.

This isn’t awkward speed dating. This is where friendships form and flirtations begin.

What to expect:

  • flirty activities designed to help you mingle
  • a warm, low-pressure environment perfect for solos & newbies
  • a room full of curious, playful queer humans
  • a consent-positive, judgement-free vibe - no pressure, ever

Whether you leave with a date, a new best friend, a group chat full of plans, or simply the joy of emerging from hibernation into a room of queer magic - you’ll be held in glorious community all night.

Come for the flirting.

Stay for the friendships.

Welcome to Flirt Club.

FAQs

FAQs

What is Flirt Club?
Flirt Club is a queer space for flirting, friendship, and connection. It’s part playful social, part cosy night out. Think: playful party meets cosy queer hangout, with icebreaker games, conversation prompts, and plenty of space to just chat. You join at your own pace: flirt, make friends, or just sip a drink and people-watch.

We’re proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive, ENM-friendly, sex-positive, and consent-led — but you don’t need to be any of those things (except queer 🏳️‍🌈) to come along. All you need is kindness, curiosity, and a willingness to meet new people.

Is it trans & non-binary inclusive?

Always. Flirt Club is proudly trans, non-binary, genderfluid, intersex and questioning-inclusive. This is a space where your pronouns are respected, your identity is valid, and your joy is celebrated.

Can heterosexual cis men come?
Straight men allies, we love you but to truly foster the safe queer vibes we want at Flirt Club, we ask you sit this one out. Flirt Club is a space made by and for queer people. Whether you’re questioning, trans, bi, ace, gay, pan or somewhere in-between, you’re welcome here.

Do I have to be single to come?

Not at all! Flirt Club isn’t just for people looking to date, it’s for anyone who wants to meet new queer people and feel part of a community. Come single, partnered, poly, curious, heartbroken, or “it’s complicated.” You set your own boundaries — flirt, friend, or just vibe.

Do I have to flirt? What if I just want to make friends?

You never have to flirt. Flirt Club is just as much about friendship as it is about romance. You can spend the whole night making new pals, joining games, or having deep chats about your favourite queer TV characters. Flirt if you want to — friend if you don’t.

I’m coming alone — will I feel awkward?

We get it, walking into a room alone can feel scary. The good news? Loads of people come solo, and the night is designed exactly for that. There are games, gentle prompts, “curiosity corners” and hosts to help get you chatting. You won’t be the only one flying solo — and you probably won’t leave that way!

Is this a speed dating event?

Nope — no timers, no forced small talk. This isn’t speed dating. It’s more like a playful queer social with optional icebreakers, games and cosy spaces to chat at your own pace. If a conversation gets good, you’re free to stay with it.

What should I wear?

Each event has a theme, and this month we’re going animal / jungle. Interpret that however you like: leopard print, vines, green eyeshadow, safari chic, creature-inspired glamour, or simply something that makes you feel a little wilder and more confident than usual.

As always: if you feel good in it, you’re dressed perfectly.

What age range is it for?

Flirt Club is open to all adults aged 18+. Most people tend to be in their 20s, 30s and 40s, but we welcome all ages, as long as you’re respectful, open-minded and ready to connect.

I don’t drink alcohol. Is that OK?

Absolutely. There’s zero pressure to drink. The Archives has a gorgeous menu with cocktails available classic strength, one unit or alcohol free, plus non-alcoholic wines and beers, so everyone’s covered.

We’ll even have a couple of Flirt Club specials (both boozy and booze-free) if you fancy something fun to sip while you mingle. Ordering a drink — alcoholic or not — is also a lovely way to support our host venue and help keep nights like this going.

Is the venue accessible?
The ground floor of The Archives is wheelchair accessible, and you’ll be able to take part in the main areas of the night there. Some activities will take place downstairs in the basement, which is only reachable by stairs. If you have accessibility needs and want more info or support on the night, just drop us a message.

What if I feel uncomfortable or pressured?
Consent is the heartbeat of Flirt Club. All games and conversations are optional, and we ask everyone to get verbal consent before any physical contact, even hugs. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, or you just need a moment, come and speak to one of the hosts. We are here for you.
