Pride and Pioneers: LGBTQIA+ History Month

29th January 2026

This week at St Margaret’s House, we invite you to take part in the many activities happening across our spaces. You can join workshops, wellbeing sessions, creative events and community gatherings designed to bring people together in a relaxed and welcoming way. Whether you want to learn something new, meet others, or simply enjoy time away from your usual routine, there is always something to get involved in.

We also proudly support LGBTQIA+ History Month, which strongly resonates with our mission of inclusion, respect and community care. To mark this important moment, we have put together several activities connected to this cause, creating space for learning, reflection and celebration. Through these events, we aim to honour LGBTQIA+ histories and voices while continuing to build a community where everyone feels seen, valued and welcome.

The Queer Arts & Social Club invites you to participate in these two upcoming workshops, where you can learn and improve your skills in linocut printing and embossing whilst meeting a group of LGBTQ+ people in a relaxed and creative setting.

 

This session addresses the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of being: gentle postures followed by breathing practices, deep relaxation and an introduction to meditation.

 

Join us for our monthly free art cafe of collaborative drawing in The Gallery Cafe. Whether you love to draw or you just love hanging out with new people and doodling while you do, this will be a space to come together and be creative.

 

Join artist and activist Dan de la Motte in this LGBTQIA+ History Month workshop to explore the pink triangles that populate the exhibition, Fruit Machine, and their history and significance. Participants will come up with their own pink triangle, with a date that is meaningful to their own LGBTQIA+ journey or identity. 

 

We know how much you all love our charity boutique, Ayoka. This is your opportunity to see the clothes from Ayoka as you have never seen them before: on the catwalk!
