Bristol QPOC Socials provides community events for queer people of colour in Bristol!

We run our 3-year-running QPOC social on every first Wednesday of the month.

And since October 2025, we run our successful new QPOC 30+ social on every third Sunday of the month.

We also host other gatherings throughout the month, check out our calendar in the Events tab!

  • "I did not have a queer poc community in Bristol until I went along to these socials. Having access to people with some shared experiences and struggles has not only allowed me to build deeper connections with many people across Bristol but also build community solidarity for me."

    — Community member

  • "It's a really great group to be a part of, I feel completely safe to be myself as part of this group. I feel so at home being able to meet and spend time with other qpoc. It is very needed in Bristol where often queer spaces are very white."

    — Community member

  • "It's been a pleasure to have been part of QPOC! It's been an big influx of my socialness these past few years and I'm very grateful!"

    — Community member

  • "I have met significantly more and been part of many more QPOC community activities and meetups due to attending the group"

  • "without Bristol QPOC I wouldn't have a wonderful community of people like me, I would have really struggled to have made friends when I moved to Bristol, and I continue to make new friends now! super lovely group and community 🙌🏽"

  • "This group has meant the world to me. I remember coming for the first time and not speaking to anyone but still feeling like I had a place in my community and I just kept coming back! These people are my family."
