LGBTQ+ History Month

The Higgins Bedford

LGBT rainbow with hands making a heart

This February join us for our annual LGBT+ History Month celebrations. In 2024 there will be a display in the foyer and events in partnership with the Queer Craftivism Collective and ELFT Rainbow Bedfordshire steering group. Come and enjoy a range of activities and inspiring talks throughout the month. Keep an eye on our website and social media for up-to-date details.

#RainbowBedfordshire strives to actively challenge stigma and loneliness by informing best practices through training, increasing visibility and social inclusion, and through building LGBTQ+/ally networks.
