Get up and Shout!!

Now firmly established as a major event within the city’s lesbian and gay calendar SHOUT has something for everyone, from political debate to classical music, from a ramble in the city centre to a queer cabaret whether you’re gay, straight, lesbian, bi, trans, queer or confused there’s something to inspire, challenge or entertain you.

Visibility and Invisibility are major themes of this year’s festival providing opportunities to increase the visibility of the LGBT community within the city and to make arts and culture a more visible part of our own lives. But the festival themes also enable us to ask challenging questions about the invisibility of some sections of our own community in particular those who are old, have a disability or are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.

THERE’S PLENTY TO SHOUT ABOUT AT THIS YEAR’S SHOUT FESTIVAL!

 
SHOUT Festival runs from 4th -23rd November
