Event Summary

Come along on this treasure hunt through Guildford’s queer and trans history to learn about the LGBTQIA+ people that have shaped this town since the 14th century. From kings to composers, from archaeologists to gender anarchists, this event will get up close and personal with all of them.

Event Description

We will meet at New House Art Space at 2pm and you will receive a brief introduction from your host Dr Lena Mattheis (they/she).

Afterwards, why not grab a coffee or cake and stay to chat and mingle.
