This is it - THE LAST VIGIL! We've always said we'll be out here until we're in there. And next week, we'll be in there! #WeDidIt #TheBlackCapIsComingBack #TheBlackCapForever #WeAreTheBlackCap
• We also do not know who will be performing or what surprises are planned.
Like everyone else, the Black Cap Community and #WeAreTheBlackCap team will simply be turning up to enjoy the night.
Open to the Public — From Sunday 22 March
8/15
The investors, owners, builders, and designers have done a remarkable job restoring — and in many ways elevating — our beloved Black Cap. She deserved nothing less.
All of us at the Black Cap Community and #WeAreTheBlackCap thank them wholeheartedly and wish them every success.

Blue skies above and Mother Black Cap looking better than she has for years (despite people sticking gig posters all over her - how rude!) Time for our weekly stint out here on the pavement telling people how things are progressing. 🌤🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌤 #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapIsComingBack #TheBlackCapForever

'I've been following the campaign and thought I'd come down and see how it's going. I'd love to see the Black Cap be a real queer community space and not just another "gay pub".' #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapForever #TheBlackCapIsComingBack
'I think it's fifty-two years since I first came to the Black Cap. It was just after I came over from Ireland. It was the best place, I'd come here every Saturday, we'd all get together here. I've a feeling when it opens again it'll be better than ever!' #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapForever
👀 All eyes on the Black Cap! 👀 #TheBlackCapIsComingBack #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapForever
Goodbye for another week! Take care everyone. #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapForever #TheBlackCapIsComingBack
Lovely to have a couple of visitors (who many of you from the Black Cap will recognize!) to kick off today's vigil. #WeAreTheBlackCap #TheBlackCapIsComingBack #TheBlackCapForever

Final Vigil
Once we have the relaunch date the #WeAreTheBlackCap campaign team plan to hold a final Saturday vigil to symbolically hand the the care of the Cap back to the new management team. Likely to be the week before the main official relaunch event.
All being well...
