✨ FREE EVENT ✨
Join us for an exclusive tour of the Bishopsgate Institute’s renowned LGBTQIA+ collections—normally £13, but we’re offering free access to this amazing experience for black & queer global majority individuals!

This event is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ Black, Global Majority, or migrant participants, in line with our mission to preserve and celebrate the underrepresented stories and cultural heritage of these communities. By making this event free to this group, we aim to ensure that barriers to access are removed, enabling greater participation and representation in this vital heritage work.

If you don’t fall into this group, the Bishopsgate Institute runs regular public tours that you can attend. Visit their website at bishopsgate.org.uk for more details on upcoming events and how to book.

Discover the UK’s largest archive of LGBTQIA+ history, artefacts, and stories, with a special focus on celebrating the Queer Global Majority (QGM).

What to Expect:

  • 6:30 PM: Doors open. Arrive early to meet the group and sign in.
  • 6:45 PM: Guided tour of the Bishopsgate Institute's LGBTQIA+ archive, showcasing rare collections and fascinating histories.
  • 7:45 PM: Introduction to the Queer Global Majority Heritage Project by Elevate Community Productions CIC, exploring how we’re preserving and amplifying underrepresented voices and how you can get involved in upcoming events.

Important Information:

  • This is a limited-capacity event—RSVP only if you can make it.
  • You’ll need to confirm your attendance by replying to a message from the organiser on the day of the event.
  • Please bring an open mind, curiosity, and any questions you have about the archive or our heritage project.

Let’s explore history, celebrate diversity, and connect with each other. We can’t wait to see you there!
