Inclusivity
Danse Macabre is and always will be a clubnight for the broad goth and alternative community, but we wholeheartedly welcome anyone who just wants to come and have a good time with us.
We are fiercely inclusive of all sexes, genders, sexualities, races, ages, disabilities, and cultures. We will not now or ever permit abusive behaviour or individuals at our events. All our events are explicitly LGBTQ+ safe spaces, if this is a problem then you are in the wrong scene.
Our crowd are beautiful. We have some who are 18 and some in their 60s. Some queer and some not. Some who dance all night and some who just want to sit with their friends and enjoy the ambience.
Anyone who feels uncomfortable, harassed, or in danger, should immediately come to the DJ booth, and a member of venue staff or security will be called if required.
