LGBTQ+ History Month Festival 2025

Celebrate and discover LGBTQ+ lives from the past!

OutStories Bristol present a day of fascinating talks featuring stories of LGBTQ+ people in the Bristol region over the last 100+ years. Topics include:

• A person assigned female at birth who lived as a man for over 40 years from the 1850s.
• A Bristol-born poet awarded the Military Cross for bravery in World War I
• A Wells man who publicly championed homosexual law reform in the 1950s.
• Documents in Bristol Archives that reveal LGBTQ+ lives going back 300 years, plus further stories possibly yet to be discovered on their shelves.

Full details and timings of the programme will be announced shortly. Watch this space – and reserve the day!
