Horseplay

Described by The Guardian as “Bristol’s best gay dance party” Horseplay is a queer-leaning art-disco-club with a positive vibe and a fine dusting of glitter and sleaze.

Jockeys Pony, Bronco and Jim Carna play a frisky mix of underground house and disco; it’s a party where people can dance without inhibition in a haze of smoke and lasers but it's about more than just amazing music. It’s also about building a community of like-minded people.

"Bristol’s queer scene is bubbling 'n’ boiling to boot. Horseplay’s nights are hot to trot, incorporating live theatre and weird art, taking over unusual locations like old police stations, and always booking great (disc) jockeys." - Red Bull Music.com

Since our inception in 2011, we have hosted guests from HomoElectric, Sink The Pink, Douche Bag, Shake Yer Dix, Dirtytalk, Pardon My French and Shambarber and also played at nights such as Dirtytalk, The Men Who Fell To Earth and Homoelectic. After two years of monthly events in a dirty basement under a metal bar we decided to focus on throwing bigger, quarterly parties in more unexpected spaces. Since 2013 we have held parties in a number of surreal places such as and abandoned strip-club, the autopsy room of an old coroner’s courts and in the underground cells of an old police station.

Horseplay is developing a reputation locally and nationally for presenting playful art and performance as part of the night. Our audiences have been fed pavlova by drag-ballerinas, had their genitals immortalised by an illustrator and displayed on the walls of the club and been visually assaulted by a huge range of avant-garde podium performance. Sometimes we host international DJs or hold theme parties, such as our Yves Klein inspired Blue Party or our sensory event Synaesthesia. We like to mix it up.

Horseplay is a mixed club where stallions and fillies of all persuasions can get sweaty together. We don’t care who you are or what you are wearing, as long as you’re up for sexy disco. Polish your hooves, comb out your mane and dance until you’re ready for the knackers yard!
