No panels, no programme — just a blanket on the grass, a plate passed round, and the particular ease of a park full of people who get it.
Whether you've been to everything or you've never come to anything, this is your invitation.
Bring yourself. Bring a friend. Make one there.
1–7.30pm. One long, easy afternoon — come for an hour or stay till the light goes.
East side, on the grass just in from the Outer Circle: ///trendy.soon.gift. Nearest gate Chester Gate, 4 minutes; step-free toilets 3 minutes west. Everything else is in the briefing.
Black queer men and the people who hold us. Free to come — always.
AIvor is BLKOUT's AI — named for Ivor Cummings, the openly gay Black civil servant who welcomed the Windrush generation ashore. Ask him what to bring, how it works, what happens if the sky misbehaves. Prefer to read? The full briefing →
AIvor is new and still learning. For anything he can't answer, a human will — rob@blkoutuk.com.
Everything about the day is out in the open — no gate, no list to be on. Saving a spot helps us plan the food, and puts the pin, the weather word and any last-minute changes straight in your inbox.
The pin, the weather word, any last-minute changes. Nothing else.
Something glitched — try again in a moment.
We'll send the exact spot, timings and a weather word before the day. See you in the sun.
Free, always. If you can, chip in on the day — it covers the food and the speaker.
And when the sun goes down — 🎤 karaoke at Zodiac Bar, 119 Hampstead Road, NW1. 8–11pm, free, all welcome.
We're also collecting for queer people in Accra organising under Ghana's new anti-LGBTQ bill — three years for being who you are, ten for funding anyone who is. Give what you'd have spent on a round →
You took more pictures than we did. Drop them in the shared album and we'll have the whole day in one place — no account needed to look, and anyone can add.
