The Dragonfly Lounge’s First Birthday Bash

Tickets: £10 (seated), £7 (standing)
Saturday 7th March from 7pm til late
Dress code: We’d love to see you in colours that reflect the Dragonfly lounge… Beautiful blues, popping pinks, powerful purples, gorgeous golds and terrific teals! Dragonfly eleganza.

Pink carpet photos on arrival.

We’re turning ONE and we’re throwing a party, Dragonfly Lounge style!

Expect a glorious, over-the-top celebration bursting with drag, music, and dancing that refuses to respect anyone’s bedtime. Our performers will be out in full force, serving looks, stunts, and moments to make the night one to remember.

This is a night with too much to see, too much to drink, and absolutely no intention of calming down. The bar will be flowing, the dance floor will be feral, and the energy will be birthday-chaos at its finest.

As part of the evening’s activities we will also be doing some fundraising to secure some much needed equipment for the lounge. There is no pressure to take part in these activities but any help would be so appreciated.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!. 🎂✨
