Celebrating Pride!

We're celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, their history, and the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance, not just in June. We always stand on the side of inclusion and against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Our support is demonstrated in our actions, and inclusion will continue to be a central part of who we are.

The last Quingo of the season

As we prepare for our Summer season, Quingo will soon be entering hibernation until Autumn. Enjoy one last round of Quingo on Wednesday at 7pm! See you there?
