Mental health matters! 🧠💚🌈

It's World Mental Health Day - a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.🌍💜

This year our theme is ‘overwhelm’. Many of us are feeling overwhelmed by global events and what can feel like non-stop negative news.

It’s okay to feel this way and it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you are going through.

Take time today to start a conversation with a friend about what good mental health means to you.💜

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LE***AN DAY! 🧡🤍🩷

PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT 🎺🌈

Buckle up for Claire Franklin’s brand new comedy set: “Family, 40 and Still in Dungarees” 😆

Claire grew up in glorious chaos, with a family messier than Coronation Street and dinner-table conversations that doubled as group therapy 🏠🎭

Now 40 (and still in dungarees), she turns her life into comedy - growing up gay, surviving family mental health drama, teenage pregnancies (not hers), and coming out - finding the laughs in the madness and the straps that keep it all together🤰🌈

🎟️ Book your tickets here:

IMPORTANT: Please book in advance so the LV team know how many of you lovely lot to expect ✨ It makes set-up smoother, ticket scanning quicker, and gets you seated sooner. Thank you! 🙏
