Museum Bums takes a cheeky look at butts in art and this will be a fun afternoon for those interested in history, art and peaches of the past!

This free Queer History Club event will take place at Leeds City Museum where you can join a talk with book signing.

Jack Shoulder and Mark Small – co-authors of Museum Bums – will use bums in the collections to explore some of the themes covered in the book, with their book chapters "They're Just Good Friends!", "When is a Bum not a Bum?" and "All Women Are Venus(?)" as jumping off points.

International drag artist* and Drag Idol runner-up Ruby DeLong dazzles Leeds with her sensational one woman show, "Painting The Town Ruby”.

Following the sold-out success and rave reviews of the February debut, Ruby is ecstatic to bring the magic to LEEDS, the birthplace of her drag odyssey!

“Prepare for uproarious stand-up comedy, outrageously campy performances, and captivating tales, all revolving around everyone's favourite subject: me” - Ruby DeLong

Indulge in cabaret-style seating with intervals to ensure you can drink the bar dry!

LLCC are excited to be launching a new set of swimming sessions at Bramley Baths!

Join Ilya and Maroula for a deep-dive into trans Byzantium. 

We will read about eunuchs being banned from monasteries for fear of the gender trouble they could cause, trans monks mortifying their flesh through working out too hard, and ordinary trans girls playing with dolls to the consternation of famous intellectuals. We’ll discover some of these sources over a two-hour session of discussion and guided creative writing that brings past and present together.

Join members of the team behind the 'Forgotten Battles: Gender in the Armouries' project to discover the hidden queer histories within the Royal Armouries Museum - and get your hands on some objects from the collection! Created by local queer people, 'Forgotten Battles' is a trail and exhibition (on display until November) which reclaims the Royal Armouries as a queer space, revealing hidden stories of gender within the museum.

Ability level: Advanced beginner level. Ability to stand, stop, turn and push a skateboard with confidence are essential.

This is a free bookable skate session for marginalised gender skateboarders aged 16+ with Skateboard GB accredited coach Ro Elliott. In this two-hour session you will get to explore the skateable sculptures by artist Dani Abulhawa titled Drift Tricks using your boards and your bodies in different ways. Book a free place, have a skate, meet some folks and learn something new!

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.

Leap of Faith is an exhibition of work by artists Newton Danger and Kit George Art depicting transness in relation to faith both past and present. Judaism and Christianity contain many examples of being trans and/or intersex, with the Talmud containing at least 8 genders and Christianity venerating multiple saints that we would now think of as transgender.

Drop in anytime between 7 and 9pm to make, collaborate and chat.

This friendly and relaxed monthly arts and crafts club offers space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to get together, chat, collaborate and make things.
