Diesel Dyke Club

Diesel Dyke Club is a monthly lesbian and dyke pub takeover in Manchester, usually taking place at The Grafton Arms on the last Friday of the month.

The grassroots night is built around the idea of taking over a regular pub and filling it with Manchester’s dyke community. Expect pints, socializing, dancing and a relaxed pub atmosphere, with a crowd that includes butches, femmes, nonbinary people and transfemmes. The organizers also run occasional ticketed club nights with DJs, drag kings, cabaret and dancing.

Diesel started in 2023 and has grown into one of Manchester’s key lesbian nightlife events. Its regular pub takeovers are free, while larger club nights take place at different venues around the city.

Venue: The Grafton Arms, Manchester
When: Usually the last Friday of the month
