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.
