Thursday 28 October – Sunday 14 November
After months of being stuck at home, this year’s festival theme is Coming Out.
Let’s come out in support of queer arts and cultural venues. Let’s come out and be reunited with the LGBTQIA community. Let’s come out for the injustices facing our community.
And for those who aren’t ready to Come Out, we’ve got some fab digital content on offer too.
Queer art should be accessible to everyone. If you would benefit from a free ticket, no questions asked, get in touch with our team on hello@homotopia.net. We’ll be happy to help.
Festival Friends: Ports In A Storm
Want to Come Out but don't want to do it alone? You don't have to. Attend festival events with like-minded LGBTQIA folks.
