Flaming Lady Of Hay

12/03/2026

We know dear Rebels and Misfits!

It’s been 342 days since our last confession, should you be keeping tally on the toilet wall as we slide down the porcelain pan of World class turdery together

Hold tight! We bring you promise, of the rubber gloves of Hope and a healthy portion of fruit n’ fibre, topped by a sprinkle of Les stardust

Courtiers, time to bust out the shared calendar of flaming joy, for on the 18th September we’ll all be back together again, for our annual night of right riotous nonsense and rebellious revelry

We’ve missed you!

Tickets on sale soon. Glorious Springtime artwork, by the incredible Alexis Snell
