Join us as we explore the city's Queer past and are led down the streets of historic Sheffield by Fiona Moorcroft from SAYiT. ‘Sheffield is no gay metropolis’ wrote Gay Life magazine in 1987, ‘but don’t make the mistake of believing that a city with no strong overt gay presence cannot make claims to being progressive and exciting.’
While Sheffield might not be recognised as one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ cities today, it’s home to a thriving community, and a rich and fascinating history of LGBTQ+ spaces, places and faces. In this insightful lunchtime talk, Fiona will shine a spotlight on Queer Sheffield through the ages, taking a glimpse of the bars, the events, and the lives of the LGBTQ+ community in Sheffield from the late 1800s to the late 1990s.
