Find your club at the Fair

The Out For Sport Sports Fair brings together LGBTQ+ inclusive sports clubs from across London in one place, making it easy to explore your options and find the right club for you.

Whether you’re completely new to sport, returning after a break, or looking for your next challenge, this is the easiest way to discover what’s out there.

Next fair: February 2027. Sign up below for updates.

What is the LGBTQ+ Sports Fair?

The Sports Fair is your opportunity to meet LGBTQ+ inclusive sports clubs face-to-face. Unlike the LGBTQ+ Out For Sport Festival, this isn’t a come-and-try event. Instead, clubs from across the Out For Sport network come together to share what they do, who they welcome, and how you can get involved.

Since launching over 10 years ago, more than 2,000 people have visited the Sports Fair to discover LGBTQ+ inclusive clubs and communities across London.

Drop in, chat with clubs, and find something that feels right for you. The next Sports Fair is planned for February 2027. Subscribe for updates below to be the first to hear when the date and venue are confirmed.

What to expect

The Sports Fair is a relaxed, drop-in event; there’s no schedule to follow and no pressure to commit to anything. Just turn up, have a look around, and chat to the clubs that interest you.

  • Free to attend
  • No kit or experience needed
  • Drop in at any time during the event
  • Meet clubs from across the Out For Sport network
  • Ask questions, pick up information, and take your time

Many queer people have felt excluded from sporting spaces, traditionally more masculine spaces – this is more of a place of people learning a new skill together, exercising, having fun, socialising.
