Custard Club is the Brighton Fringe Bursary Winner 2026 and winner of the Pebble Trust Young People's Bursary. It was performed at the Lantern Theatre from 24 to 28 May. Custard Club tells the story of Nancy, a young woman whose fraught search for queer community pushes her to the most sensible solution she can muster: summoning four women from across the twentieth century to her kitchen table for an unforgettable evening of passive aggression, genuine aggression, impromptu drag numbers and custard fights. At times, Custard Club is a poignant look at queer costuming, coding and community-building, at others, a campy, raucous spectacle.

Two pink-and-white badges from the Dyke Collective Brighton, one reading 'With Love & Rage, The Dyke Collective Brighton' and the other 'The Dyke Collective Brighton'.

An evening event held on 14 April 2025, 7:30–9pm, including music, poetry, short story reading, and drag king performance.

The meeting held on Saturday 29 November at 7pm at The Queery. It brought together dykes from Brighton and beyond to organise to defend, build, and take care of one another. The discussion focused on fighting back against a war-hungry, racist, patriarchal and misogynistic system, building community as self-defence, and existing to create, rest, look after one another, play, dance, love, and find joy within each other.

Dykes + Intersectionality Notes, including 'What Is Intersectionality?', Pre-reading, Suggested Questions, Discussion and More Discussion.

A clothes and books swap event held on Saturday 6 June, 10:30am–3pm, at Daltons. £2 suggested donation. Participants were invited to bring clothes, bring books, or simply attend; everyone was welcome, regardless of funds.

This watercolour painting was done in response to attending One Church Brighton, which is very inclusive of LGBT+ people, with services about Queer Theology and Pride Communions. This painting shows how the unconditional love and acceptance of God mirrors that of the LGBT+ community. Despite how much the church has rejected gay people, some at One Church find it a place to heal. Created in May 2025
