What should I wear?

Smart-casual is perfect – but this is a Gaydio event, so if you want to add a bit of colour, glitter, or glam, go for it!

Yes – we ensure all venues are fully wheelchair accessible with lifts and accessible toilets. If you have specific accessibility requirements, please email us at networking@gaydio.co.uk.
