The Big Lesbian Picnic Party — Women Only • Real Vibes

Just wanted to share something that our group is running this Saturday in London, in case anyone here might be interested in joining us. It’s women-only (lesbian and bi), no tickets, no agenda, just a very real gathering for anyone who’s felt pushed out, erased, or like the spaces that used to be ours are gone.

We lost our venue. The council blocked us. They spent millions on a supposedly “inclusive” LGBTQ+ centre. When we asked to rent a disused railway arch and were told no – even though it was legal, female-only, and community-led (under schedule 3).
So we built something ourselves. It’s not a protest. It’s not a club night. It’s a pavement bar. Folding chairs. Cold drinks. A small bluetooth speaker. And women who understand.

It’s happening this Saturday, 14th of June, from 4.00pm to 10.00pm at Potters Fields Park (right by Tower Bridge). Forecast says 24 degrees. We’ll have beer, cider, and lemonade. Four tables, twelve chairs, and whoever turns up.
Come alone or with friends. Bring a picnic blanket or just show up. There are no cliques, no speeches, no pressure. Just space.

If you want to chat beforehand or see who’s going, here’s the open WhatsApp group: chat.whatsapp.com/FCsLSOzgV4C2yUGplyQr5m

(This one’s public – our private ones are for verified members only via thelcommunity.com.)

If you want to understand why this even needs to exist, this explains it better than I can here: thelcommunity.com/the-lie

They wouldn’t give us a roof. So we licensed the street.

Why was your venue blocked by the Council? Is there any chance of infiltration by TiMs?

Sounds like a blast, wishing you every success and a great gathering.

Needspaceforlego · 09/06/2025 18:03

Good luck ladies hope you have a successful event.

delightfuldweeb · 09/06/2025 18:04

I wish you the best day, but I also fear that it will be ruined by TRA’s who’ll see this post and be furious Angry

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes — our venue was blocked despite full legal compliance. We’ve taken steps to safeguard against infiltration, but as always, we rely on solidarity and sharp eyes on the ground. Appreciate the support.

Totally hear you — and thanks for the good wishes. We’ve got a licensed setup, on-site stewards, and we’re calm but prepared. Let them be furious. We’re lawful, visible, and unshakable.

Thank you — that really means a lot. We’re holding the line for something simple. Every bit of goodwill helps.

I hope you all have a lovely time. I'm straight but it was the homophobia of the Cotton Ceiling that first alerted me to the dangers of gender ideology. I have massive time for lesbians, who have probably been the worst affected group in the chaos of the past decade or so.

Igmum · 09/06/2025 18:56

Good luck, I think this is a wonderful idea. Wishing you strong security, peace from crazy TRAs and lovely lesbian time together.

LadyFooFooFrankentits · 09/06/2025 18:58

Wishing you all the best. Unfortunately I am as far from London as you can probably in the UK, but with you in spirit.

EweSurname · 09/06/2025 18:59

Good luck! It is absolutely name that lesbians are being prevented from lawfully gathering - can’t believe there isn’t bigger outrage over this

MoistVonL · 09/06/2025 19:00

I hope you have a great party!

My local council is captured by the TWAW nonsense and have pulled support and venues for women only events so I completely emphasise.

Fuck ‘em, the bastards. Women in general and lesbians in particular have been absolutely shafted by the ideological bollocks that seems to redefine material reality.

NPET · 09/06/2025 19:01

Won't be there but here's hoping it's wonderful!

MarieDeGournay · 09/06/2025 19:06

'lawful, visible, and unshakable.' - T-shirt, size M please😄

I'm not in the same country, but very much in the same mindset, so wishing you all the best, I hope Saturday is a big success and a lot of fun.

Davros · 09/06/2025 19:11

I’ll have an XL please. Wishing you all the best for a fantastic event 💐

MrTiddlesTheCat · 09/06/2025 19:11

Hope it goes well and that angry men don't try to sabatage it.

itsmeafterall · 09/06/2025 19:15

Have shared with my bi daughter and her lesbian london mates.

Hope you have a fabulous event 🥰

Greyskybluesky · 09/06/2025 19:19

You sound formidable! Wishing you all the very best for this event 💕

Lovelyview · 09/06/2025 19:30

Good luck with your event. 🙂

JanesLittleGirl · 09/06/2025 20:50

It's going to be perfect weather. The location is wonderful. Relax and enjoy yourselves. I hope that this is the start of something beautiful.

ArabellaScott · 09/06/2025 21:24

Sounds wonderful. Have a great day, OP et al!

RedNine · 10/06/2025 00:20

Have a terrific picnic party, you wonderful wims. ❤️

WearyAuldWumman · 10/06/2025 00:21

This straight old lady wishes you the very best.

ILoveBrum · 10/06/2025 00:51

All the best with the event - wish I could join you!

DiscoBob · 10/06/2025 00:55

That sounds awesome. I'm not a lesbian so I guess it's not for me but I will tell my lesbian friends. Hope it's a great success x
