Yorkshire-based LGBTQ+ charity Out Together is starting the Pride season in style this June in Leeds and is inviting guests to join them for an unforgettable evening of glitz, glamour, fine dining and captivating entertainment at the charity’s annual All Out Together Ball. The popular event, in its fifth year, will be held at the iconic city centre venue, The Queens Hotel.
The evening will feature performances by renowned LGBTQ+ talent, including former RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Veronica Green.
The Viaduct Showgirls and singer, Debbie Taylor, whose performances have wowed guests at previous balls, are returning this year too. Guests will also enjoy some surprise entertainment happening throughout the evening.
Co-hosting this year’s ball is well-known TV presenter Christine Talbot and local celebrity Matt Jameson, who rose to fame after starring on E4’s Married at First Sight UK in 2021, being part of the show’s first same-sex couple. He’s since used his celebrity status to help advocate for LGBTQ+ rights alongside his position as Operations Manager at Out Together.
Christine Talbot shared: “I’m so glad to be back hosting the All Out Together Ball with my friend Matt again this year! It’s such a special, fun night with so much out there glamour and the most uplifting entertainment – and best of all it’s for a great charity whose work I greatly admire – I hope to see you on the night”
Matt Jameson commented: “I’m so excited to be co-hosting the event with Christine again this year, and all of us at Out Together are incredibly grateful to everyone who is helping us bring together such an amazing event, including our generous sponsors, Weightmans and Flamingo’s Coffee House, along with corporate supporters, Lloyds Bank.
“It’s set to be a memorable evening as guests join us for an evening of celebration and connection, to help raise funds to support the vital work Out Together is doing in supporting isolated LGBTQ+ communities.”
The All Out Together Ball is the charity’s flagship fundraising event, which has played a significant role in supporting Out Together’s mission to break down barriers and build a more visible, connected and empowered LGBTQ+ community across generations and regions.
Founded in 2020, Out Together has supported hundreds of LGBTQ+ people—especially those at risk of isolation—through social gatherings, digital inclusion training and support services.
The 2026 ball will celebrate Out Together’s recent milestones, as they’ve reached a pinnacle point in their activities to date, including receiving national and global recognition following new partnerships with organisations such as Patient.info, which has helped accelerate the charity’s growth.
Last year’s ball raised an impressive £20,000 in profit, which was reinvested directly back into Out Together’s support activities. For 2026, Out Together aims to surpass £100,000 in total funds raised over five years.
Funds raised will help Out Together expand initiatives to support more people in LGBTQ+ communities, especially those most at risk of isolation – including older people and those in rural areas, which the charity has become well known for providing services to.
Special celebrity supporters of Out Together have also been invited to attend the ball on Saturday, 6th June 2026. Both individual and table tickets are now available on the Out Together website as supporters, friends and partners of the charity are invited to dress up and join them for a truly memorable evening.
