On the second floor of Thompsons Arms from September until the end of the year, explore exclusive archive materials tracing the evolution of safer sex education from 1975 to today, alongside the launch of LGBT Foundation’s new Safer Sex packs, commemorating five decades of community support.

Featuring some of our most risquĂ© marketing campaigns that wouldn’t make it in 2025, this is not to be missed!

Open to the public during Thompsons Arms opening hours (currently 7 days a week, 2pm – 4am).

Please note the EXXXhibition is on the second floor which is only accessible via stairs. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
