Always a highlight of Queer Contact, club culture meets high art at the House of Suarez + Contact Vogue Ball 2022.

House of Suarez’s legendary annual Vogue Ball returns to Manchester with a 2022 theme of ‘Night at the Poseum’, with performances inspired by treasures from around the globe currently on display in museums throughout the North West.

The ball will once again be hosted by the House of Suarez regular – the exuberant Rikki Beadle-Blair. Expect meticulous choreography, outlandish costumes and an exceptionally high standard of dance performance – and all set to the perfect club soundtrack. A night of high drama will ensue as Vogue Houses from across the UK come together to compete for catwalk supremacy.
