Venue Details
This ain't your grandma's church, folks. While ChUrch in Amsterdam is primarily a queer sanctuary, it extends its warm embrace to allies and those curious about the LGBTQ+ experience. It's a place where understanding, education, and celebration coexist, offering an opportunity for everyone to broaden their horizons and let go of any preconceived notions.
At chUrch, diversity reigns supreme. It's a vibrant sanctuary that embraces a wide range of fetishes and welcomes everyone with open arms. Whether you identify as queer, transgender, straight, or somewhere deliciously in between, this is the place to let your freak flag fly high and proud. Here, you'll find a vibrant mix of locals, expats, and globe-trotting party animals, all basking in the glory of Amsterdam's inclusive spirit. Crowd is usually bisexual and gay men, 20s - 40s (depending on event).
The venue itself is a conversion of an old chapel, but don't expect any fire and brimstone sermons. Instead, immerse yourself in an atmosphere that blends historical grandeur with a futuristic twist. The dance floor, once an altar, now beckons you to unleash your wildest dance moves beneath a celestial ceiling. And fear not, dear revelers, the spirits of the past are more inclined to bless your rhythm than condemn it.

ChUrch plays host to a variety of electrifying events throughout the week, ensuring there's always something enticing for every queer soul. Whether you're a disco diva, a house music enthusiast, or simply looking to surrender to the magic of drag, this heavenly sanctuary delivers.
