Hi Everyone, Please join us for Games & Coffee Afternoon. This event is also alongside other groups I host. We’ll meet in a cosy coffee shop for a relaxed afternoon of board/card games and other easygoing games. Please bring a few of your own, as I’ll be focusing more on hosting than providing games. No pressure, no loud energy just gentle conversation, quiet fun, and friendly faces. Perfect for introverts, shy souls, and anyone who enjoys a calm social space. Any questions or concerns please do message me. I look forward to meeting you Dee

🎨🌈 **LGBTQ+ LONDON PRESENTS: QUEER CREATIVES🌈🎮** A new LGBTQ+ creative social in London Queer Creatives is a social night built around making things, playing creative games and meeting new people. This isn’t an art class, and you definitely don’t need to think of yourself as “creative” to join. The activities are simply there to make meeting people easier — create something, laugh about it, swap ideas and get chatting. Come on your own or bring friends. Jump between activities throughout the evening, spend ages making something, join a game, or just grab a drink and socialise. **✨ WHAT TO EXPECT** 🧱 **LEGO Icebreaker** — build something, get chatting and meet people 👕 **Jackbox T-Shirt TKO** — create ridiculous T-shirts and slogans together ✂️ **Arts & Crafts** — relaxed activities to make, customise and experiment with 🎮 **Creative Videogames** — games focused on imagination, design and creating 🎲 **Creative Games** — drawing, storytelling and visual boardgames 🎵 **Great music** throughout the evening 🤝 A **welcoming** LGBTQIA+ community 💜 **Free to attend** No artistic talent required. Make something brilliant. Make something questionable. Both are equally welcome. 😂 👋 **COMING FOR THE FIRST TIME?** Lots of people come to our events on their own, so arriving solo is completely normal. Grab a name tag when you arrive, and if you’d like help meeting people, just find one of the hosts. We’ll happily introduce you around or help you get started with an activity. **WHATSAPP LINK —** Will be added to the comments for you to join. 💜 **OUR COMMUNITY** The night is about creating alongside people, not competing with them. If you see someone on their own, invite them into your activity or simply say hello. Small gestures can completely change someone’s night. 🌈 **HELP KEEP LGBTQ+ LONDON GROWING** LGBTQ+ London is run entirely by volunteers. Our events are free to attend, but there are ongoing costs including Meetup fees, creative materials and event equipment. If you enjoy what we do and would like to support the community, donations are always appreciated. Every contribution helps us keep events free, welcoming and accessible.

**Whether you’re brand new to board games or just looking for a cosy way to meet people, this night is designed with you in mind.** We run our board game night every two weeks, always in the same venue, and with the same familiar hosts. Our aim is simple: create the kind of event you enjoy so much that you want to come back - and maybe make a few new friends along the way. **Please use the link below to purchase a ticket for this event.** [https://tinyurl.com/bgn-2026-10-03-meetup](https://tinyurl.com/bgn-2026-10-03-meetup) **⭐ What Makes This Event Special ⭐** **The Venue:** Blighty is cosy, colourful, and just a little bit quirky — like the living room of your eccentric aunt. It also has a fabulous garden where we play board games when the weather is nice. **The Games:** We currently own over 50 games, including favourites like Articulate, Codenames, and Secret Hitler. Every game is hand‑picked for maximum fun and easy learning. **Blood on the Clocktower:** We often run Blood on the Clocktower as a special feature of the night. It’s completely optional, always beginner‑friendly, and a brilliant way to meet people through laughter, bluffing, and bold accusations. **The Hosts:** They are some of the loveliest people you will ever meet on Meetup. It doesn’t matter if it is your 1st time or 100th time coming to the board game night, they will always make you feel welcome. 🎯 **Who This Event Is For** 🎯 This night is perfect for people who are new to board games or just want something light, social, and easy going. * You don’t need to know any games beforehand. * You’re welcome to come alone or with a friend - either is completely fine. This is not a hardcore gaming night. You won’t find Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: The Gathering here. 💷 **Price — £5 per person** 💷 Your contribution helps us keep the event fresh and fun: * We buy new games every month to expand and update our collection. * Any games we no longer need are donated back to the community through regular giveaways. Please note that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. **📍 Where & When 📍** **Address:** Blighty, 35-37 Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4 2JF **Google Maps:** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/p7X7u8VLoijfujS6A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p7X7u8VLoijfujS6A) **Nearest Tube Station:** Finsbury Park Underground Station (approx 5 min walk) **Start Time:** 5:00 PM **End Time:** 9:00 PM If it’s your first time, we strongly recommend arriving before 5:30 PM so we can help you settle in and match you with a great game
