The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Join host Beth Watson for Queer Diary at DINA this June.

A brave group of LGBTQIA+ folk will read their teenage diaries aloud to a room full of people – sharing anything from teen angst to first crushes.

"In here the goths, the punks, the emos, the nerds, the glee-clubbers (and maybe a few populars?) come together as grown-ups, to escape cis-het-normativity by sharing our younger selves' innermost thoughts via old diary entries, fanfiction stories, tumblr posts, and possibly the odd bit of cringey poetry!"

If you're keen to read your teenage diary, sign up now.

Doors open 7pm. Readings 7:30–9:30pm. There'll be time to stick around after and enjoy the vibes.
