What's happening in Storyhouse Queer – coming in 2023!?
We’re excited to announce a brand new festival coming in 2023 – Storyhouse Queer.
Storyhouse Queer is a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ communities of Chester and the wider region. Taking place in Queer history month in February, like our other festivals it will be co-curated with members of the LGBTQIA+ communities and organisations. Come and see us at Chester Pride this summer!
We’re currently looking for local LGBTQIA+ creatives (visual artists, performers, theatre practitioners, musicians, writers, poets and more!) to get involved – find out more here: Storyhouse Queer Creative Call-Out.
