Leeds' Queer History Tour - LS6 Ticket
Discover Leeds' hidden queer history on a group walking tour of LS6.
NEW ROUTE for 2024!
- Thursday 23rd May 6pm
- Friday 14th June 6pm
Queer history is all around us. The building we walk past on the way to work might have witnessed the first meeting of a campaign group; the bus stop we use every day might be remembered fondly as the site of someone’s first kiss. But like many marginalised experiences, too often this history remains invisible.
On this walking tour the Hold It Up Collective or Kit Heyam will take you on a tour of Woodhouse and Hyde Park's queer history highlights. From early Pride to squats, from wartime genderqueers to gay hotlines, you'll see the city and its past in a new light.
Running time approx. 1 hour. Ticket holders meet at the The Bookish Type (77a Great George Street) 15 minutes before the walk starts.
