Have you ever wondered what queer historical figures were like, beyond the court records?

Tomara Garrod (Research Fellow at the Centre for Queer History) has developed a workshop using creative writing exercises to help us build our own, intimate connection with queer history.

Join us at The Birds and the Bees: Queer Ecology Guided Walk on September 21 from 11-12:30, led by Connor Butler - Head of Learning at Chelsea Physic Garden, a member of the LGBT community and advocate for increasing accessibility in outdoor spaces.
