Little Yellow Door
It all started in 2014. Four friends, each with their own pop-up business, met running events together. After a breakneck refurb on a shoestring budget, The Little Yellow Door Pop-Up was born - a place where anyone was welcome to come in, let their hair down and be themselves.β― We knew very quickly that this was a much bigger and more powerful idea than one small flat in Notting Hill. We started dreaming about different coloured doors across the city - and maybe beyond - each one with its own distinct identity set by the vibe of it's neighbourhood & clientele. Each one a Little Door home at its heart - but each one lovably unique, perfectly crafted to be adored by its locals.β―

Fan favourites Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker are teammates and lovers. Thurwar is nearing the end of her time on the circuit, free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. As she prepares for her final encounters, as protestors gather at the gates, and as the programme's corporate owners stack the odds against her - will the price be simply too high?
