THELOVEHUB x Fringe! 2025

Wow! We are six!

The Love Hub (the love-child of The Love Tank and Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest) returns for our 2024 special edition!

Once again we're straddling Bethnal Green Road, in London's east end - one stiletto shoe in Fringe's main hub at Rich Mix, one knee-high-Doc-Martin deep in the Common Press Bookshop basement.

For 2024 we're adding the Love Hub Lounge - bean bags, shoulder rubs, quirky pop-up activities, and refreshments, all on the ground floor of Rich Mix. Come and chill between films or Love Hub activities. Grab a free Sexual Health London STI kit, and other health info. Thank you to Preventx for sponsoring this space.

At Love Hub '24, we've got four midweek online live events for folks who can't get to our weekend of in-person activity; a kick-off kinky event at Rich Mix on Friday night; two full days of sofa chats, workshops and panels at Rich Mix at Common Press; and a just-announced final night climax party!

A note on Love Hub well-being: all the venues we're using are ventilated - but that doesn't make them totally COVID, flu or common-cold safe. We'll have free masks available. Got a cough, cold, or flu-like symptoms? Please take a break until your symptoms have subsided: many of us in our communities have to do everything we can not to get sick, including those of us with disabilities or compromised immune systems.
