Garlands

Garlands is not a permanent venue but a club night that has been running in Liverpool since the early 1990s and is widely considered one of the best gay club nights in the north of England outside Manchester. The night's reputation is built on music quality — the booking policy has consistently prioritised house, electronic and club music of genuine credibility alongside a thoroughly inclusive crowd policy. The event has maintained its cultural prestige through three decades by treating the musical and social experience as inseparable: good music for a diverse queer crowd, in rotating Liverpool venues, with a consistency of quality that is unusual in any nightlife context. Friday nights at the Eberle Street venue. Check social media for specific dates — Garlands sometimes moves between venues for special events.
