New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest nights of the year. Looking for the best lesbian events to cheer in 2024? We’ve got you covered. Historically, we’ve been starved for lesbian bars, clubs and events to call our own. While there still aren’t as many as we’d like (!)…we’re thrilled to see more spaces and events popping up for queers and lesbians.
Here are the best lesbian events for you and your gang this NYE.
Also, let’s be each other’s social secretaries – any lesbian NYE events you hear of, please add them to the comments. See you on the dancefloor.
Butch, Please!
The Clapham Grand Saint Johns Hill, London, SW11 1TT
A top pick for a New Year’s Eve lesbian event is Butch, Please! at the Clapham Grand. This unique nightlife experience celebrates butches and butch culture in an absolutely iconic London venue.
Launched as a passion project to address a lack of representation in the lesbian community (read our exclusive interview with the founder of Butch, Please!), the night has grown to be a staple in the London LGBTQ+ scene.
Butch, Please! embraces individuality, fosters community and champions inclusion. Butches, femmes, non-binary and transgender individuals are welcomed.
This New Year’s Eve, Butch, Please! promises to be the biggest New Year’s Eve party for lesbian, trans and non-binary people in the UK.
New Year, New Butch.
Tickets are £34.68
MINT at The Broadcaster
The Broadcaster, 89 Wood Lane, W12 7NX
Mint has been hosting some of the most popular LGBTQ+ events in London over the last 16 years. Mint parties, socials and events are sophisticated, fun spaces for lesbian and queer women to meet.
On NYE, Mint is taking over two floors of The Broadcaster at Television Centre, White City.
The glitzy night will have you entering 2024 in full party spirit. With two dance floors, three cocktail bars, a heated terrace with views over London and lots of fabulous queer ladies, it sounds good to us.

Dalston Superstore NYE Bash
117 Kingsland High St, London E8 2PB
Dalston Superstore is a firm favourite of ours. Hosted across two floors, the multipurpose venue offers a party for queer girls, femmes, butch, trans, non-binary and everyone in between.
This fabulous venue always brings the vibes with a wide range of quality DJs playing house, techno, electro, pop and disco sets to queer crowds who know how to party.
The Dalston Superstore NYE Bash has upped the ante – expect drag and gogo dancers to help you ring in New Year with a bang. There won’t be many better queer dancefloors come midnight!

Knickerbocker New Year’s Eve 2023!
The Yard Theatre Unit 2a Queens Yard, London, E9 5EN

Cabaret of Queeriosities
R-Bar, 5-7 Marine Parade, Brighton, East Sussex BN21TA

Vanilla Bar Manchester
39-41 Richmond St, Manchester M1 3WB
Canal Street and the Gay Village in Manchester is said to be the UK’s LGBTQ+ centre, outside of London.
On New Year’s Eve, there are a host of queer-friendly bars. Lesbians head to Vanilla. A stylish, vibrant bar for lady-loving ladies.
Queens Court
167 Lower Briggate, Leeds LS1 6LY
Leeds has a strong queer nightlife culture. The Calls area has many LQBTQ+ bars. Fibre is a late-night bar with quality DJs but more of a queer-cis mixed crowd.
Viaduct has drag artists and tribute acts. The Bridge LS1, replaced the legendary gay venue of the same name (which was forced into closure after 35 years), but the new venue remains an LGBTQ+ friendly bar.
For lesbians, Queens Court is the pick of the bunch.
New Year’s Eve entry on the door is free all night.
G.IRL Events London
61-65 Great Queen St, London WC2B 5BZ
G.IRL Events is known for its huge parties in London, and this one is also set to impress. Held at their usual venue, Sway, Holborn London – it’s nice and easy to get to. Why not get yourself into a quirky hotel in London and enjoy celebrating bringing in the new year? The event runs from 9pm – 3pm and is ticketed.
