Leeds’ Queer History Tour
QUEER HISTORY TOURS ARE BACK!
Join Hold It Up Collective or Kit Heyam for a jaunt round Leeds visiting queer history landmarks. You’ll hear about the first ever national trans conference, the vibrant queer clubbing scene in the 90s and lots of tales of activism, politics, arrests and cottaging.
Be inspired by your local queer history!
The walks are wheelchair accessible.
Amazingly, this is our fourth year of running these tours round Leeds city centre. It’s been such a pleasure celebrating the hidden queer histories of our wonderful city, and we love hearing all the anecdotes from attendees too! Later this summer we’ll be announcing an additional tour with a whole new set of stories and landmarks in another area of Leeds.
More news soon!
