We're really excited to open up Expressions of Interest for events to be part of the 2026 Wellington Pride Festival programme!

Our last fundraising film for the year (probably?) is happening next Friday 10 October. We've got classic comedy with The Birdcage (1996). Hosted by drag legend Ellie Kat, old school gay camp needs a deserving location, so where better than Scotty & Mal's?
