The Bad Mittens, LGBTQ+ inclusive social badminton
We’re an LGBT+ inclusive badminton group, which simply means everyone is invited to join us – you don’t need to identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Trans to take part.
Our focus is on fun, friendly games rather than serious competition, so if you’re looking for high-stakes matches, this might not be the right fit. But if you want to enjoy badminton, meet new people, and have a laugh, you’ll feel right at home here!
We welcome all abilities from beginners to intermediate players – no need to be the best on the court. Games are usually mixed doubles, and we rotate partners after each match, so you’ll never feel left out (even if you come alone).
Whether you’re here to get active, socialise, or make new friends, we’d love to have you join us.
Just remember: advance booking is required via our website. Check out the Tickets section below to secure your spot.
