Ourgasm

Ourgasm

24 May 2026 - 24 May 2026

We take over Lakota and Coroner’s Court and turn it into a living, breathing playground. You enter through Coroner’s Court and from there it unfolds. Conversations spilling out of one room, workshops tucked into another, performances catching you off guard, music moving through the walls. You wander. You land somewhere unexpected. You stay longer than you planned. This is a space for curiosity. For learning something new about yourself, your body, your boundaries, your desires. It is about connection, not consumption. From 1pm to 7pm, the programme runs deep. Talks, workshops, art, performance. Pleasure politics. Body confidence. Moments that challenge you, moments that crack you open a little, moments that just feel good. The full programme lands ahead of time so you can plan your path, but the magic is often in what you didn’t plan for. There is no dress code. Come as you are, or as who you want to be that day. This is not a sex party. It is a sexy space, and that distinction matters. It means people feel safe to exist here. It means consent is understood, not negotiated on the fly. It means you can actually relax into the experience without someone trying their luck. The energy is open, but it is held. At 7pm, we gather properly. Big Wett takes us out of the daytime and into something looser, louder, sweatier. By 7.30pm, we shift fully into the afterparty, carrying that energy into the night until midnight. The afterparty is limited capacity and ticketed separately. You can come for the day, the night, or both, but each has its own ticket. Afterparty doors close at 9pm. No stragglers drifting in. We hold the space carefully. There are vibe checks at the door, a full wellbeing team inside, and a shared understanding that this only works if we look out for each other. If you get it, you’ll feel it straight away. Ourgasm centres queer community in all its forms. Allies are welcome when they come with awareness, respect, and a willingness to step into something that isn’t built around them. Arrive early. Stay open. Let the day unfold. This is a day of ideas and a night of release. Presented by Lakota. This is an 18+ event

It is a line up designed for queer joy, for getting lost on the dance floor and for finding each other there. Come ready to dance, make friends, celebrate and let the rhythm guide you. This is one of those nights you will tell people about and you want your tickets now! We don't book genres, we book artists. Come curious and expect a journey.
