About us

Truro Rainbow is a gentle, welcoming LGBTQ+ community space for people who enjoy low‑pressure, thoughtful, and quietly sociable activities.
We create moments of calm connection — from shared reading hours in the park to our LGBTQ+ Book Club, from Paperback Picnics to small cultural or creative meet‑ups. Nothing here is high‑stakes or high‑energy. You can join in fully, or simply sit nearby and enjoy the company of others.

Our ethos is simple:

No pressure — come as you are, leave when you need to
Introvert‑friendly — shared solitude is a valid form of community
Queer‑affirming — all LGBTQ+ identities and allies welcome
Local and rooted — celebrating Truro, its parks, its culture, and its people
Gentle connection — small gatherings, warm atmosphere, no forced interaction

Whether you want an excuse to finally read that book you’ve been putting off, a quiet hour in the park with other LGBTQ+ folk, or a friendly book discussion once a month, you’ll find a space here.

Truro Rainbow is an umbrella for several ongoing activities, including:

The Truro LGBTQ+ Book Club
Paperback Picnics / Bandstand Reading Hours — reading together before the Sunday concerts
And other small, thoughtful events as the community grows

If you’re looking for a calm, kind, and quietly joyful LGBTQ+ community in Truro, you’re in the right place.
