Fatt Projects – a Birmingham-based queer performance company from artist and activist Adam Carver aka Fatt Butcher – have partnered with Moseley Road Baths to throw their first ever Big Fatt Pool Party, which will be a free, inclusive pool party, that welcomes and celebrates all body types, allowing everyone to use the swimming pool with comfort.
“We’re pro-fat, pro-femme, pro-trans, pro-disabled, anti-racist, pro-fabulous. Bring your best self, bring your bingo wings, bring your pals, bring your inflatables!” explains Fatt Projects on the event’s booking page.
Big Fatt Pool Party will be hosted by local legend, Drag Race UK star and “amateur aqua-aerobics instructor”, Ginny Lemon. It will feature performances from Mama Mamba and “pool party beats” from DJ Just Soriah for 90 minutes “of wet and wild wonder”.
The event will be held on Saturday, August 12 with two sessions, one running from 1 – 2.30pm, followed by a second from 3 – 4.30pm. This is a free sober daytime event suitable for ages 18+, however, those attending should be aware that unlike Fatt Projects’ previous silent discos, this event will have loud music throughout.
The venue itself is a historic pool offering private any-gender changing cubicles throughout, and a hoist to access the pool as well as the swimming pool ladders. Full details regarding access, getting to the venue, and about the venue itself can be found on the booking page for this event.
So, whether you want to make a splash or have a poolside gossip, book your free tickets online now for a uniquely joyous swim sesh.
