Where to find us, and what Glittered venues carry into the room.

The year a Glittered venue keeps.

Across all four strands, LGBTQIA+, disability, neurodiversity, and race and faith. Each date comes with one thing to do: staff briefed, the poster refreshed, something on the socials, and where it fits, something in the room. Nobody does all of them; the ones your guests care about are the ones to keep.
