PROTEST! Documenting Dissent - ON THE SCENE

A One-Night-Only Queer Party x Live Film Set Experience.

Step into February 1988.

You’ve just marched through the streets of Manchester in the UK’s largest-ever LGBT+ protest. Now? It’s time to dance, defy—and make history.

ON THE SCENE is a one-off immersive queer party, part of the SCENE festival—and also a working film set. You’ll be transported to a lovingly recreated 1988 gay bar, where you’ll party like it's '88, guided by our fierce resident drag queen and surrounded by the iconic sounds and fashion of the era.

But this is more than a party.

You’ll also be part of the set for a brand-new short film about Section 28—capturing your joy, defiance, and best moves in the background (or maybe even the foreground) of this vital story of queer protest.
