Weekly Lesbian Picnic – Saturday 21st June – Women Only (Tower Bridge)

Hi all,

Just wanted to share that we’re now running a weekly lesbian and bi women-only picnic every Saturday in London.

It started small – just a few of us gathering in the park after being blocked from renting a venue. Now it’s become something we look forward to each week.

This Saturday, 21st June, we’ll be just outside Potters Fields Park, on the Queen’s Walk – the riverside path with beautiful views of Tower Bridge. Since the council won’t give us the venue, the park itself, or even the pavement inside it, we’re setting up just beyond the park boundary.

It’s not a protest. It’s not a party. It’s folding chairs, picnic blankets, cold drinks, and women who understand.

Time: 4.00pm to 10.00pm
Location: Queen’s Walk (next to Potters Fields Park, SE1)

No tickets. No speeches. No pressure.
Just space for anyone who’s felt pushed out of the places that used to be ours.

You can bring a blanket, a drink, a friend – or just yourself. No cliques, no agenda. Come as you are.

Want to chat first or see who’s coming?
Here’s the open entry WhatsApp group:

They blocked the door.
So we built something in the open.

then add add the banner and also the photo of us that I put on twitter (where we're in front of the tower bridge)

The Lie

They Shut the Door on Lesbians.We Followed the Law. They Lied. This isn’t a misunderstanding. It’s deliberate exclusion. A breach of duty – moral and legal. A quiet travesty, playing out in full view. We are L Community, a grassroots, lesbian-led netwo...

I'm straight but I'm always pleased to hear of woman-only events OF ANY KIND.
Some (straight) women say we should integrate more with men and boys, but as far as I'm concerned, (a) there's more than enough "integrating" (no, I'm not being rude, I mean it seriously) and (b) it hasn't got us very far, whereas women-only events are ALWAYS fun.
