Sappho's Cafe & Community Space

Sappho's is an LGBTQ+ community cafe at 55 Bretonside, next door to The Swallow. It opened in November 2025, and a crowdfunder in January 2026 raised just over £14,000 to keep it running. By day it's a cafe and drop-in. Evenings and weekends bring queer socials run by the Queer Out Loud collective: quiz nights, a craft club, life drawing, swaps, film screenings and small gigs. On Pride day 2026 it hosted the Proud Folk session. It's the easiest sober, daytime way to meet Plymouth's queer community. Opening times vary, so check its listings before you go.
