Welcome to Open House Melbourne

What is Open House?
Open House is a Lesbian social / discussion group that has been running in Melbourne for over 20 years. It is a discussion group run by a facilitator in an informal and non-threatening environment.  Participants can contribute to the discussion or just sit back and listen.  There are usually many wide and varied opinions which make it interesting and fun.

It can be particularly useful to lesbians who are just coming out or who have recently moved to Melbourne, or for those who just want to meet new people in our community. The group also attracts regulars who enjoy the discussions and get togethers over many years.

Ages of those who have attended have ranged from 15 to 80 plus, and the professions, interests and attitudes of the participants are just as diverse. This is part of its charm and probably part of the reason for its success after all these years.

Where is the group held?
Glasshouse Hotel, 51 Gipps Street, Collingwood Vic 3066
