Learn about the history of queer poetry, and using inspiration from the workshop, produce your own works of poetry reflecting on your LGBTQ+ identity. All ages and previous experience levels welcome. All materials provided.
Opportunities to share your work afterwards, including contributing to the Leeds Zine Library and performing your work at an event in the future.
BYOBG - Bring your own board games!
Although we have a selection of games available for you to play at Pride Place, we’d love you to bring and share your favourite games with others in the community. We also accept donations if you’d like to gift us any gently used games you’re no longer playing.
There will be a selection of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks available on a donation basis. We welcome anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, either solo or as a group. There will be volunteers on hand to help you settle into the social environment.
We are very excited to be hosting the new FANN Network!
This is their first free, in-person event, for northern female and non-binary artists and creatives of all kinds who identify as neurodivergent.
This will be a collaborative, accessible event in a creative space. No pressure, no judgement, just a chance to meet one another, share some common struggles, discuss how to access and create support, and celebrate the individuality and imagination of neurodivergent creative people!
FANN is created by Redbobble arts in collaboration with Left Bank.
Join your host Quinn for inclusive LGBTQ+ karaoke at Pride Place!
Inclusive karaoke has five rules:
You don’t have to be able to sing to be good at karaoke - you just have to love the song you’re singing. The more you love the song, the better you’ll be.
Respect the singer. It takes courage to come up here and all singers need from you is for you to pay attention to them and show them some love.
You absolutely can sing a song if someone else has already sung it. Karaoke isn’t a competition.
A wide range of events happening across the city hosted by, and supporting, our varied LGBTQIA+ community.
A event run by Queers for the Queers!
This open level dance class is for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community to rock up and have a laugh, who want to leave their worries at the door, to indulge in some fun movement that is good for both the body and the soul.
No pressure to perfect or to fit in any kind of box!

The Trans Saints Project explores the history and legends of saints and figures who may be interpreted as trans today, with a book and a launch event. This is a 100% volunteer led project.
This event is for everyone - you do not have to be religious, LGBTQ, or academic to come and have a look.
There will be artwork on display, and writing to read, plus there will be workshops you can join if you like!
