Who is this for?
This is a chance for drag kings to get out of the city centre during the Edinburgh Fringe, touch some grass, and meet other kings - ones visiting from all over the world, and the local community who live here all year round.

When we say drag kings, we include kings, things, monsters, cryptids... we're not gatekeeping. If you do drag and like picnics, you're in.

How it works
Come along to the park, bring snacks, sandwiches, whatever you fancy. We'll bring some home baking, but can't guarantee how long it will last.

We'll be there from 1pm until about 5pm, trying to make sure everyone finds the spot and is generally doing ok. But otherwise this can be whatever you want it to be.

Do I need to book?

Nope, just show up.

That said, it's handy if we know how many to expect, so if you're planning on coming, you can reply to this post, DM us on Instagram or respond to the Facebook event.

Accessibility 

The picnic is being organised with access as the first priority. Himish and Lucas are both wheelchair users and disability activists, so we want it to be as accessible as possible.

There's level access, toilets on hand and easy bus links. We'll put up a separate post with full access details.

In the meantime, feel free to get in touch to ask about specific access needs. We will always fight for access.

Who's behind this?

Officially, this is being run by Ghost Whistles, conspiring with Disabled Queer Edinburgh.

Really that means Lucas and Himish, a couple of cool kings who like meeting other drag kings and eating sandwiches.

We also like social justice and fighting rainbow capitalism, but this is mostly about sandwiches. And cake.
