UPDATE 04/05/2026:

We have begun inviting people from our waiting list to join our club. You may join our waiting list by completing this short form.

​​

Our club was formed in 2017 when a group of badminton-
playing friends wanted to meet new LGBTQ+ players who shared

a love for the game.

 

It didn’t take long until we expanded to
playing on more courts, and now we play seven days a week. 

We currently have 200+ members. As well as the regular sessions, we
hold social events ranging from nights out, quizzes,
picnics, trips and the Christmas fancy-dress tournament,
formal dinner and award ceremony.

​​

We host the annual Swifts Cup in Bristol which is amongst the largest

LGBTQ+ badminton tournaments in Europe, bringing together
around 300 LGBTQ+ players from the UK, Europe and Asia to compete
for medals in singles and doubles competitions across many
different ability levels.

​

We take part in mini-tournaments against other LGBTQ+ badminton groups.

We brought home 4 medals from the Gay Games in Hong Kong 2023

and we will send a squad to the 2026 Gay Games in Valencia.

​

The club also has 7 teams in the Avon Badminton League.
