Sunday Sanctuary in Manchester
Story-Time with Author Scot Douglas and Queer History Walking Tour with Josh
Join us for an afternoon of stories, conversation, history and community.
3-4 PM | Story-Time with Author Scot Douglas
Get comfortable and be among the first to hear extracts from Scot Douglas’s entertaining and heartwarming book, Out in Oxford. Dedicated to Armistead Maupin, the book is inspired by his Tales of the City, about diverse lives in 1980s San Francisco.
After the readings, Scot will open up a discussion about the themes at the heart of the book: belonging, community, friendship and mental wellbeing, both within and beyond the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s a chance to share your own reflections, ask questions, and connect with others over the stories that shape how we find our people.
All profits from Out in Oxford support Queerwell’s work, so every copy sold helps us keep our wellbeing programmes free and low-cost for the community.
4-6 PM | Queer History Walking Tour with Josh
Led by Josh from freewalkingtours_mcr, this walking tour uncovers the people, places and moments of queer history, bringing the streets around us to life along the way. Expect surprising stories, moments of pride and resilience, and a new perspective on places you may have walked past many times.
