Bears Perth stands with trans people 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. There’s no one way to be a bear — and trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people belong here.

When anti-trans comments are shared publicly — including by people who hold titles — staying silent isn’t neutral. We won’t look the other way. To every trans member, mate and friend of this community: you’re welcome, you’re valued, and we’ve got your back.

Welcome to Bears Perth! 🐻

Bears Perth is Perth’s queer bear club — a warm and welcoming space for male-identifying people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and levels of hairiness — and their admirers. Whether you’re bearded or smooth, big or small, young cub or silver fox, cis or trans, you’re welcome in our bear cave.

🐾 Den Nights are the beating heart of our community, held at Loton Park Tennis Club typically on the 2nd Saturday and 4th Friday of each month. Guests who identify as male are always welcome at Den Nights and most events — just check the Events page for details.

Acknowledgment of Country

Bears Perth acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the Traditional Owners of Boorloo on which we gather near Derbal Yerrigan. We pay our respects to Noongar Elders past and present, and we recognise the enduring connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, culture, and community.

We also acknowledge and honour the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of Bears Perth, and the strength and resilience of First Nations LGBTQIA+ peoples — Sistergirls, Brotherboys, and queer mob — whose voices and identities hold a vital place in both our club and the oldest living culture in the world.

Friday Den Night: Leather & Fetish
Loton Park Tennis Club
19:00 – 23:59
Bears Perth Leather & Kink Den Night is here — and you’re invited to bring the heat, the gear, and the good vibes. Open to anyone 18+ and male-identifying (cis or trans) — whether you’re a lifelong leatherman, a curious newcomer, or just keen for a different kind of den night, you’re welcome in the den 🐻🖤 This is a gear-friendly night: leather is the theme, and rubber, latex, and other fetish wear is absolutely welcome too. Harnesses, boots, pup gear, jocks, uniforms, chains, caps — go subtle or go full send. No gear? No worries at all. The theme is just for fun. Come as you are and we’ll still love to see you. To keep things comfortable and discreet, we’ll be putting up visual barriers so passers-by don’t get an unexpected surprise. And if you’d rather arrive in “civilian mode” first, there’s plenty of bathroom space on site to change into your gear. As always, expect a night of fun, friendship, and fur — plus nibbles throughout the night, cheap drinks at the bar (extra-special member prices 🍻), and every entry goes into the door prize draw. Our raffle will also be running, with even more goodies up for grabs. Come meet the bears, make some new friends, and be part of one of Perth’s longest-running queer social clubs. Members Free | Non-members $5 (pay at the door) 👉 First time visiting? Check out our First Time? page for everything you need to know.
