"Finally, some good news for London nightlife. The capital's legendary queer party Duckie is making a grand return in 2026, but it's going to look slightly different from its past iteration. The iconic LGBTQ+ knees-up took place at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT) for 27 years before throwing its final shindig in 2022. Co-founded by former London Night Tzar Amy Lamé, since it began in 1995 Duckie has been a trailblazer for London's queer nightlife scene, hosting parties, performances and DJ sets all over London."
"Duckie announced on social media that it would be coming back on March 7 2026. It's moving on from its south London home at the RVT to St Paul's Church Hall in Stoke Newington. Duckie claimed the change in location was to avoid 'greedy, right-wing south London pub landlords'. The new iteration of the night also promises to have a cheap bar, free buffet and cups of tea."
Duckie ran at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern for 27 years before throwing its final party in 2022. The event will return on March 7 2026, relocated to St Paul's Church Hall in Stoke Newington. Organisers said the move avoids 'greedy, right-wing south London pub landlords'. The revived night will offer a cheap bar, free buffet, cups of tea, and run from 7pm to 11pm on a bi-monthly schedule. The lineup will include ska, rocksteady, dancehall, funk, soul, glam rock and pop, with DJs Little Cloud, Joe Egg and Stav B. Performances will be described as 'thoughtful and inventive', with accessible toilets and step-free access.
