HIM.

  • WRITTEN BY Natalie Ekberg
  • DIRECTED BY Simon Fielding

Overview

When Jane unexpectedly falls pregnant with Charlie, she agrees that he will raise the child with his new partner, Osmond. But, over time, their genuine yet imperfect agreement begins to crack under the weight of lingering doubt, buried resentment and conflicting loyalties.

Darkly funny, emotionally charged and painfully honest, HIM explores the fragile truths and lies we construct to protect ourselves and the people we care about most. Because some decisions shape a lifetime. And some debts will never truly be repaid.

Big Gay Brunch Saturday 4th of July Actor's Church Covent Garden

 



 

 

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Big Gay Brunch Returns to Covent Garden for a ‘Camp Village Fête’ This Pride Saturday

LONDON, UK — As London prepares for its most vibrant weekend of the year, The Big Gay Brunch announces its highly anticipated return to the heart of the West End. On Saturday, 4 July 2026, the stunning gardens of The Actors’ Church in Covent Garden will be transformed into a ‘camp village fête,’ offering a stylish and relaxed alternative to the hectic Pride parade route.

Supported once again by Shaftesbury Capital, and this year also by Covent Garden’s The Yards and Westminster City Council, the event kicks off at 11:00 AM, welcoming the LGBTQ+ community and allies for a morning of "Big Gay Energy," high-end glamour, and community spirit.

A Chilled Sanctuary in the Heart of Pride

Set within the historic grounds of St. Paul’s Covent Garden (The Actors’ Church), the event swaps the crowded streets for a lush garden setting filled with classic garden games, music, and local artisans.

Highlights of the 2026 Edition:

·        The Glam Station: Get Pride Ready with professional glow-ups from the cosmetic icons at Charlotte Tilbury.

·        Queer Makers Market: Shop a curated selection of goods from local LGBTQ+ creators and independent businesses.

·        Star-Studded Hosting: A fabulous headline host (to be announced) will keep the energy high throughout the afternoon.

·        World-Class Raffle: Guests can win West End Theatre experiences, including tickets to hits Magic Mike Live, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter, plus dinner for two at the legendary theatre haunt, Joe Allen.

Supporting 50 Years of Community Care

Beyond the brunch and bubbles, the event serves a vital purpose. All proceeds from the day’s raffle will benefit London Friend, the UK’s oldest LGBTQ+ charity. Celebrating more than 50 years of service, London Friend provides essential health and mental wellbeing support to the community, making this a celebration with a heartbeat.

"The Big Gay Brunch is about more than just a party; it’s about creating a space where our community can celebrate together in a beautiful, historic setting while giving back to the organisations that keep us safe and healthy," say the event organisers.”
