About this Event
Foyles Pride Fest was dreamt up, designed and curated to be a thought-provoking celebration of Queer literature, history and culture that is open to all. Launched this year by our events team at Foyles we hope this will become a staple in the UK literary events calendar -- providing a space for speakers, from authors and poets to activists and academics, and audiences to celebrate queer lives and writing.
Our Saturday line-up features: Mendez, Tash Walker, Catherine Riley, Ellen Jones, Peter Parker, Eliza Clark, Juno Dawson, Avery Curran, Elizabeth Lovatt, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Chloe Michelle Howarth, Ella McLeod, Jonny Woo plus MORE names to be announced!
