Grab a pritt-stick & join Wembley Park and the Queer Diary team for an evening of nostalgia, crafting & chance to create your own personal Queer Teenage History Zine.
What to Expect
Led by the Queer Diary team, the session is built around making your own zine. During the session, you will learn to:
- Design the teen mag you wish you’d read
- Collage your fantasy prom-night
- Create a fanzine for your first crush
- Write a letter to your younger self
- Draw a coming-of-age cartoon
Or you can simply sit & doodle with a friendly queer crowd, to a throwback soundtrack.
Bring your pals, your date or come alone to meet some new friendly faces.
All crafting materials are provided by the Queer Diary Team:
Paper + pritt stick + scissors + felt-tips + gel pens + pencils + stencils
and a load of old teen mags to cut up & re-cycle into your own queer-tastic zine
The team will also also provide instruction (how to fold a basic zine) and ✨zine-spiration in the form of some zines they've enjoyed, and some they have made before, along with a collaborative playlist, where you can add your own fave throwback tracks from your teenage years.
If you want to use your own life as inspiration, you're welcome to bring something you've kept from your past: a favourite object, a picture, a song, or treasured memory* to use as inspiration on turning them into a Queer-tastic Zine (this is not required - just if you want to!)

Their comedy show Hasbian, drawn from founder Beth Watson’s real early-00s diaries, is a firm favourite on the queer circuit.
