Event details

Matchstick is back for its third round, and this time the theme is queer icons. Come dressed as a figure who shaped queer culture, from pop legends like Diana Ross, Princess Diana, and George Michael to artists like Frida Kahlo, or bring along your own drag persona. The night is about celebrating queer culture, self-expression and the people who paved the way, with music and dancing.

This edition partners with Hot Girl Boxing, a FLINTA boxing club in East London that creates an inclusive, camp and welcoming space for the queer community. Matchstick will donate proceeds from its merchandise on the night to support the club, and a new Matchstick merch line is on its way.
