There used to be only one gay in the village (according to reports back in the 90’s)\, now it seems like hundreds of LGBTQ women are flocking to this small coastal town for their holidays. \nOban Lesbian Weekend’s founder\, Maz Gordon\, moved back to her home town of Oban 3 years ago after living in Brighton almost half of her life. She was excited to see that Oban had started it’s own pride but at first she found it hard living somewhere which didn’t seem to have any LGBTQ community\, so she decided to bring the lesbians to Oban by launching her own event\, Oban Lesbian Weekend. \n“Women I speak to always say they’d love to come and explore Scotland but Oban is often a couples holiday and never one you would expect to meet other LGBTQ women. I posted on Facebook to see if there would be much interest for a weekend that involved some cocktails\, castles and karaoke in Oban and was shocked that within 3 days of launching\, I’d sold 62 tickets!”. \nOban Lesbian Weekend is offering something for everyone. They are working with local businesses to take their group to see Scottish wildlife on boat tours. Seals\, seagulls and you never know; minky whales and dolphins are known pop up on these boat trips. They are running various walks to suit differing abilities\, so that women can explore Gylen Castle on the island of Kerrera while meeting other LGBTQ women. Weather permitting\, Oban is also a great place to try paddle boarding or kayaking. \nFor those a little less outdoorsy\, Oban Lesbian Weekend is hosting dinners in smaller groups\, catering to all budgets – fine dining in Oban’s newest boutique hotel\, No 17 The Promenade\, pub grub at Markie Dans and plenty of time to stop at the two famous seafood shacks on the pier. \nOban Distillery has been producing Oban Whiskey\, a single malt since 1794\, so of course there is the option to visit the distillery. \nLike any gathering of LGBTQ women\, many will come for the social life. Attendees will be in for a treat. York based\, singer songwriters and Masterchef quarter finalist\, Jess Gardham has performed at English and Welsh lesbian festivals\, Femme Fest and Lfest\, and is coming all the way to Oban to perform on their launch night. It’s not often that Oban gets someone who has performed at Manchester 02 academy\, America and Canada. Attendees will have their own chance to sing at Karaoke\, then local DJ’s make sure everyone is dancing through the nights. The last night’s closing party will have Edinburgh’s legendary LGBTQ Dj\, Trendy Wendy. \nWhat’s not to like! If you’d like to be part of this historic event for Oban\, we believe they still have a few tickets left. \nTickets and info: https://www.outsavvy.com/event/8155/oban-lesbian-weekend-26th-29th-august-2022 URL:https://diva-magazine.com/event/oban-lesbian-weekend/ LOCATION:Claredon Hotel & other central venues\, 1 Shore Street\, Oban\, Scotland\, PA34 4LJ\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://diva-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screenshot-2022-08-02-at-15.03.48.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220826 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220829 DTSTAMP:20260403T195046 CREATED:20220705T141354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220705T145416Z UID:62264-1661472000-1661731199@diva-magazine.com SUMMARY:Manchester Pride 2022 DESCRIPTION:Manchester Pride is one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities.

This exhibition asks how\, and why\, the act of making home can be a form of resistance and survival within the context of hostile environments—including those of racism\, homophobia\, ableism\, climate catastrophe and political austerity. \nDrawing its title from a line in poet Ezra Green’s A Poem to the Nationalist Marcher (For the Queer People of Warsaw)\, In the House of my Love takes as a point of departure the various histories and legacies of migration that have made Brent the second most ethnically diverse borough in London\, and a local authority with one of the highest numbers of first-generation migrants in the country. \nThe Brent Biennial is delivered by Metroland Cultures. Our mission is to build\, share and support art and culture in Brent: supporting communities to amplify ongoing stories of Brent life\, and working with artists to tell new stories as they come into form. Our work sits at the intersection of art and community\, and we are committed to testing new approaches that centre partnerships\, strategies and approaches for community and artist collaboration. \nBrent Biennial 2022: In the House of my Love is open and free for all to visit every Thursday – Sunday\, 12 – 6pm between 8 July – 11 September. \nhttps://metrolandcultures.com/whats-happening/programmes/brent-biennial/ URL:https://diva-magazine.com/event/gaps-in-the-archive-a-day-of-events-telling-the-lgbt-history-of-brent/ LOCATION:Performance Space\, The Library at Willesden Green 95 High Road London NW10 2SF CATEGORIES:Politics,Pride END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220907T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20221001T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T195046 CREATED:20220913T084142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220913T102808Z UID:65756-1662537600-1664643600@diva-magazine.com SUMMARY:Bright Half Life at The King's Head Theatre DESCRIPTION:What if life came with a rewind button? \nJumping across time\, Bright Half Life tells the four-and-a-half-decade story of Vicky and Erica\, who meet\, fall in love\, start a family\, and traverse the highs\, lows\, joys\, and fears that come from sharing your life with someone else. \nAuthor of the ground-breaking Pulitzer Prize-nominated play BLUE DOOR\, Tanya Barfield writes a contemporary classic about love\, heartbreak\, skydiving\, and the infinite moments that make up a relationship.

Our events are funded through donations and our pay-what-you-can policy. No donation is too small (or too big of course) but your generosity helps us to help others. We aim to pay artists a fair fee\, to support organisations that have big hearts but small funding\, and to ensure no one feels excluded from our community due to financial constraints. \n*please note that regrettably the downstairs space at the GlassHouse is not wheelchair accessible.
