We regret to announce, due to unforseen circumstanes beyond our control, we have had to postpone the Queer Women's Culture Bang Bus. Don't worry though, we aim to create an even bigger and better women's special for IWD in 2018!
we have emailed you through this ticket page for a ticket redeem or refund.
Apologies for the inconvience!

**********************
There are still patriarchs in the most powerful positions who claim to have rights over our voices, our bodies and our wombs.
In the UK women's refuges are being closed down at a worrying rate, and now, in 2017, there is still only one permanent lesbian bar in London. This is why the BANG BUS 2 exists. It's our show of strength, a show of solidarity, and of fierce, inspiring sisterhood.
Queer 'herstory' has been suppressed too long, as have the stories of our reproductive rights and our feminism, but on October 28th, we are going to make our presence felt, and we will do it in the most suitable way: through party!
This year marks the anniversary of the 1967 'Abortion Act' and the 'Sexual Offences Act' which marked the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. We aim to celebrate our progress and our past in style, and make sure the future knows we are coming for it, and we are louder than ever. Safe spaces have never been more important, and the BANG BUS is free from judgement, from prejudice, from any form of intolerance: all are welcome aboard to join the fun.
So join us, dance with us, sing with us, and hear the stories of inspiring speakers and their unique perspectives.
All requests for involvement, press and questions to

ABOUT QUEER TOURS OF LONDON -
For this years 50th anniversary of partial decriminalisation of homosexuality ‘QUEER TOURS OF LONDON – A Mince Through Time’ are being set up to bring forth the visibility of our incredible community at large and the journey to how we became who we are today. Against the backdrop of the mass closure of LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex) cultural spaces and support services, ‘QUEER TOURS OF LONDON’ are being developed to support London’s current queer activism, culture and performance in all its glory. Find out more at www.queertoursoflondon.com
“London’s LGBTQ+ heritage is rich, diverse and important: but is often hidden and in danger of being forgotten. Our collaborations with Queer Tours are energetic, hopeful and vital explorations of this history.” Tom Furber and Jan Pimblett – London Metropolitan Archives
