Home / About / Clubs / Out on Tuesday

Come along to the friendly, welcoming Electric Palace cinema in Hastings Old Town to celebrate LGBTQIA+ voices and communities onscreen.

Led and supported by LGBTQIA+ identifying speakers and guests, our Out on Tuesday series of events take place on regular Tuesday evenings. Curated by Peccadillo Pictures, the UK's first and original queer film distribution company, we'll be sharing LGBTQIA+ themed films including a mixture of new releases and old classics.

The selection of screenings showing at the Electric Palace in this Out on Tuesday series mirrors the Peccadillo Pictures choices showing at the ICA in London, and we are the only other cinema in the country doing this season!

So if you're curious about seeing films that highlight the rich tapestry of LGBTQIA+ experiences, come along to enjoy must-see classics and queer films rarely seen on the big screen. And do stick around after the screenings and Q&As to chat about the films and make friends in our safe venue's unique cinema bar.

Upcoming films for Out on Tuesday

Unhappy Birthday - Halloween special!

Tuesday 31 October 2023, 7.30pm

A down and dirty indie horror that gleefully riffs on The Wicker Man, but with added gay sex, voyeurism and assorted backwoods.

"A refreshingly queer take on the classic British horror film and inspired by cult classics such as The Wicker Man and Hammer House of Horror, Unhappy Birthday has a playfully retro vibe, a healthy irreverence and a deliciously deviant heart." - Peccadillo Pictures

To what extent is the film a gay film or a horror film? The directors always meant it to be a horror/thriller but there has always been a tradition of queerness in horrors from Bride of Frankenstein to many classic vampire films. Instead of the gay characters being these cliché-ed characters of horror yore they thought they'd update them and make them three-dimensional characters. Come and see if they have achieved this aim!

Starring David Paisley (Holby City), David McGillivray (House of Whipcord) and Jonathan Keane (Spring).

Thursday 21 December 2023, 7.30pm


A closeted young man goes home for the holidays and struggles to reveal his dire circumstances to his conservative family. This Christmas weepie gives a whole new take on going home for the holidays - beautifully written and performed "a rare miracle of a film".
