Queer tango in Gallery Square

Challenge conventional gender roles in tango and join the team of Queer Tango London for a series of workshops, demonstrations and milongas, with music from Mazaika.

Promenade performance in the Gardens

Nando Messias was beaten up on the street in an act of homophobic hatred. After years of dreaming up his response, he presents The Sissy's Progress, a spectacle of provocation, celebration and hyperflamboyance. Part dance-theatre, part walking performance, the show leads its audience through the Horniman Gardens with a live marching band and confronts the harsh contradictions of gender and violence of city life.

Films in the Education Centre

Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest presents To Strive, To Seek, To Find, a programme of short films that celebrate the elation and agony of finding love and finding ourselves in the process.

Queer talks in the Hands on Base

Pride of Place aims to uncover new locations associated with England's LGBTQ past, and to revisit existing heritage sites to consider their LGBTQ significance.
