East London venue set to open 'made by women+ for women+' this week
Briefly

Damsel, a new venue in Hoxton opening on June 20, aims to create an inclusive space for queer and trans individuals, centering women+ communities. It excludes unaccompanied cisgender men and offers various facilities, including a café and cultural spaces for women-led programming. Co-founder May Slaoui emphasizes the need for spaces built for women+, who have historically adapted to environments that do not prioritize them. The venue aims to empower its users and foster an environment where they can thrive personally and professionally, alongside initiatives supporting creative projects.
Spaces where we may be tolerated, but rarely prioritized. Damsel was born from that frustration. From the deep, and relentless demand for more.
Damsel is where ambition meets belonging, where ideas become action, and where every woman is free to just be.
