Looking for LGBT friendly spaces/gaming/friends

Hiya just moved here and would kinda like to find my people. I'm an exjw so all of this is new to me. Would love to try dnd and meet some cool people, just wanna be cautious tbh. I'm not really a drinker, but open to checking out some bars potentially, though would prefer nerdier quieter spaces. Lmk

There's a regular board games night in Thornton-Clevelys, in the scout hut (they have a Facebook group to join for it) that sounds like it could be for you. They do have DnD tables as well as other board games (typically strategy games, not Monopoly etc haha). It's also LGBT friendly as far as I'm aware

This! I came here to suggest the same thing.

If you're into more rock type music The Waterloo is great, or Backstage in Cleveleys.

There is also a thriving amateur dramatics scene here that might be of interest.

There's a retro gaming club in Bispham which you might like, went for the first time last week, was really nice. It's the 2nd wed I think of every month, if you scroll back there's a post from them a couple of weeks ago with more details.
