Creative Social | Cymdeithasu Creadigol

Queertawe and Nofela are running Creative Social | Cymdeithasu Creadigol at Urban HQ on Thursday 12 November, from 6pm to 9pm. It's an evening for queer creatives to meet new people, chill, chat and get inspired, with the night mixing making and conversation. You can get stuck into creative writing, bookmark making and more, with all materials provided on the night, though you're welcome to bring along your own craft projects if you've got something you're already working on.

Queertawe run the night as a safe, sober and inclusive space, and the venue's cafe serves hot and cold drinks throughout, so you can keep a brew going while you work. It's open to over-16s, or under-16s with a guardian.

Urban HQ, at 37 Orchard Street, is a queer arts collective and community space in Swansea that's hosted queer nights and events for some time. In December 2025 it launched Nofela, a non-profit LGBTQ+ bookshop and community space that began as a pilot there and has been working towards a permanent shop on High Street. The two are co-running this social, so it's a night that sits right in the middle of what they do.

Doors open at 5:45pm, and the whole thing runs until 9pm. Entry is free.
