Queer Bloomsbury returns to Charleston for a night of queer excellence, strange explorations in the garden, very queer talks and a Midsummer Party.

Featuring Symoné, Brian Lobel, Emma Frankland, Subira Joy and Charlie Wood with DJ Michelle Manetti and a line up of special guests across the evening.

6pm: The evening kicks off with The Moment, a special commission exploring ways that queer imagination can confront, subvert or transform the world.

7pm: Charleston house and gardens turn into a Queer Fayre so you can frolic and encounter performances, live art and a fine selection of wild queers taking up residence in the greenery.

9pm: As twilight descends, Charleston comes to life with DJs, performances and debauchery. Join us for a Midsummer Party under the August sky.

Dress code: Midsummer extravaganza, queering the garden, pansies, poppies and gay roses.
