We're very excited to be opening up our queer events space and archive reading room to the LGBTQ+ community and our allies.

The weekend runs as an Open Door from 11am on Saturday and 12 noon on Sunday, so if you are able, come along any time until 2pm when you will have the chance to see our book collection for the first time. There'll be refreshments and the opportunity to talk to us about how you'd like to see us move forward. We're especially looking forward to welcoming and thanking our generous our crowdfunding campaign donors.

If you don't want to attend in person or you've something else on, then please book a ticket for these sessions which will also be online. A recording of the events will be available later if you've booked a ticket but can't make it. Or go to the in-person event to book tickets there.

Saturday 2pm - we present a Spoken Word and Music session.

Sunday 2pm - Kate Charlesworth introduces her 6 new queer writers cards and bookmarks followed by poets from Rock the Boat.
