To celebrate this year's LGBT+ History Month, on Thursday 6 February we'll be joined by local historian Clifford Stead who will guide members of our community on a tour of the Leeds Civic Trust & Leeds LGBT+ HUB Rainbow Plaque Trail.

Celebrate the stories, events, and people who’ve shaped Leeds' LGBT+ heritage with us on this memorable tour, featuring some of the trail’s key highlights.

We advise anyone with accessibilty requirements to get in touch with us prior to the event so we can ensure its suitability.

We’re bringing poetry and spoken word to the Thackray Museum of Medicine as part of their Thackray Lates programme on Thursday 13 February.

For one night only, the museum will be pumping with a programme filled with the red stuff (and we don’t mean roses). Join us for an anti-valentine evening like no other, one that embraces the visceral life force of all beating hearts: blood!

Described as ‘the best observational comedian of his generation’ (The Guardian), this Edinburgh Award nominee’s last UK tour show After This One, I’m Going Home ended with standing ovations around the country.

Seann has starred in Netflix’s Flinch, Live at the Apollo, Tonight at the London Palladium, Celebrity Juice, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Virtually Famous, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Chatty Man and Stand Up Central.

Join us to explore ideas of ‘blindness gain’, new approaches to exhibition making, and ways audiences can experience artworks beyond the visual.

Throughout the day speakers will address how artists have used, and continue to use, senses beyond the ocular, both historically and in contemporary practice.

Tickets are free and include lunch, refreshments and a wine reception at the end of the day.

“The most generous of hosts… a mesmerising personality… a gifted storyteller… a natural comic” - The Guardian

When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too?

But: Life Isn't Like That, Is It? is a new collection of stories by Boff Whalley, musician, author, and one of the founding members of the anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba and Commoners Choir.

These are stories about real lives, real people, and real life. Stuttering, wayward, disjointed, funny, ridiculous, and unplanned.
