Explore the Rainbow: An LGBT+ History Tour

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.

Lesbian Line - Book Talk + Q&A

As part of Queer History Club we are thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Lovatt to talk about her book, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line.

Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is a brilliantly original exploration of queer history based on call logs from a 90s lesbian phone helpline. With warmth and humour, Elizabeth Lovatt reimagines the women who both called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s, whilst also tracing her own journey from accidentally coming out to disastrous dates to finding her chosen family.
