Reel Queer

Join us at Storyhouse for our monthly LGBTQIA+ cinema club, celebrating Queer stories and storytellers by spotlighting a wide range of films that reflect the diversity of queer experiences – from light-hearted and whimsical tales to powerful and hard-hitting stories.

Come along, enjoy the film, and stay after the screening for a relaxed, informal discussion.

Reel Queer is curated by Storyhouse Cinema Assistant Charlotte Ross and Service Assistant Katy Hanson with input from our community. Reel Queer aims to connect Chester’s LGBTQIA+ communities through the power of cinema.

To make our screenings even more accessible, all tickets are Pay What You Can – choose to pay £4, £6.50 or £9.90 when booking.
