Join Dan de la Motte for a whirlwind romp through queer history in the glorious garden at St Margaret’s House
You’ll be greeted by three queer spirits, guiding you through the significance of flowers in queer history to find your inner flower power. An afternoon of queer joy and resistance - here we are seen, and just like the flowers we are celebrating, together we can create the conditions we need to not just survive, but thrive.
Performances at 2.30pm, 3.30pm and 4.30pm with a rousing sing-a-long finale
Build your own bonny baby - prizes for the bonniest
Pay homo-age to the Lesbian Avengers and design your own slogan T shirt
Share your significant queer memories in our Pink Triangle Gallery
A village fete of stalls - mix your own herbal tea or plant a pansy
High camp afternoon tea, cake and cucumber sandwiches (crusts optional)
Naffle with an array of terrible prizes
