You've been longing for it and now, we're longer than ever - as part of Sanctuary Queer Arts’ showcase week, we’re throwing an all-night extravaganza with cabaret from 7:30pm to 11pm and a queer dance party til 3am. Our acts have 18 months' worth of fabulous backed up and they're going to explode so bring your wet wipes - it's our juiciest joyfest ever!
