This shows the cover of City Limits magazine, with the listings showing Siren presenting the play ‘Curfew’ at The Oval House theatre in London. It also shows a review of ‘Curfew’ by Carole Woddis in the centre of the first column. Siren shows were regularly reviewed very positively by City Limits (a rival to Time Out magazine and far more alternative at the time).

This shows a review of the play ‘ Hotel Destiny’ which was performed at The Oval House Theatre. The review is generally positive, with some negative remarks, but states that the performance "is an evening of lesbian affirmation with mixed pleasures - ingenious, gently laconic without being fully satisfying, subversive without truly detonating."

The review was written after a performance at the Drill Hall in London. Bardsley writes that "Siren have always been mesmerised by the idea of time travel, they move their performances through both past and future and around a central theme of DANGER: the danger of lesbian sexuality (and of any kind of 'otherness') to straight society."

The comments were after a performance of the play ‘Now Wash Your Hands Please’. Two comments were from males who felt that it was important for men to see the play.

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.

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.

Article from Gscene Magazine February 2007 JOLLY HOCKEY STICKS! The Brighton Honeybees Hockey Club have been going strong for well over ten years. They're a self run community team attracting players with a wide range of ages, backgrounds and skills, with the emphasis on having fun and keeping fit. Long standing player and vice captain Vic Finnimore explains: “The Bees were founded by ladies Whopps and Serbiton, along with other disillusioned women who were unhappy playing for their existing or previous clubs as they were felt to be too stuffy and competitive, and not particularly gay-friendly. We didn’t set out to be a lesbian team – it just kind of happened!” This year the Honeybees home ground is up at the Stanley Deason Leisure Centre, Wilson Avenue, Brighton where they play home games on Saturday mornings and train on Wednesday evenings from 6-7pm. They play in Division 2 of the Sussex Ladies League and are currently 9th in the table. They've also reached the semi finals of the Sussex Shield and will play against South Saxons 2s on 31 March. The Honeybees are a friendly sociable team and always looking for supporters and new players so if you fancy going along to watch or joining them on the pitch contact them.
