A talk about the largely unknown queer novelist Mariana Villa-Gilbert (1937-2023) and her lost 1960s lesbian novel, A Jingle Jangle Song – recently republished by Lurid Editions. With publisher D-M Withers and local author Clare Fisher.
A festival promoting diversity, unity and community spirit, shining a spotlight on cultural traditions of the South Asian community. With live music and dance, activities for young people, exhibitions and demos, fun fair rides, stalls and more.
Housed in the old fire, police and ambulance station, this museum offers lessons in everything from the origins of the name "bobbies" to why hoax 999 calls are bad. There are lots of vehicles to climb on and uniforms to climb in, too.
An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades, discovered in a stash of notes in the offices of queer helpline Switchboard. Brought together by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith, who share what they've learned from those on both sides of the calls.
