Deliveroo has partnered with queer performance charity the Raze Collective to launch a special, pride-themed pop-up in Soho’s Greek Street celebrating 50 years of pride, cabaret and queer performance in the UK.
The ‘Liza The Deli & Friends’ pop-up will open this Saturday and Sunday (25 to 26 June) from 10AM to 4PM, and is set to feature a drag performance by Drag Race UK vs The World winner Blu Hydrangea live from the shop window, as well as several LGBTQ+ performers from the collective.
Guests will be able to interact with performers and even take a stroll down the catwalk themselves. The delivery firm has also confirmed that it will match all the money raised from food sales at the deli, with proceeds going directly to the Raze Collective.
