An outrageously camp millionaire aesthete and politician; an artist who worked in Andy Warhol’s Factory; a celebrated WWI soldier and poet; a ground-breaking film-maker who painted with tar and planted flowers in the shingle; a trail-blazing lesbian novelist; the first trans-man to undergo phalloplasty; and one of the most celebrated theatrical talents of the 20th century – these are among the prominent LGBTQI+ characters you’ll encounter on this guided walk from Sandgate’s high street to the heart of Folkestone.
Join journalist, author, and founder of the Folkestone Foghorn Simon Richmond on a guided walking tour of Folkestone's Queer History for LGBTQ+ History Month. Saturday February 24th - meeting at 10.30am for an 11am start, outside Orchard Lane Coffee House in Sandgate. A stop for refreshments at the Green Room at the Grand Hotel.
