Call for events for 2017!

York LGBT History Month are now starting to compile our programme for February 2017 – and we need your help to make it happen!

Last year’s programme, with over 50 events, was our biggest yet. The programme ranged from film screenings to academic talks, from panel discussions to musical theatre. Next year we will once again be a hub of the Third National Festival of LGBT History, but we also want to make our local programme an even bigger success! Could you be a part of this?

The national theme for next year is Citizenship, PSHE and Law, but don’t be discouraged from putting on events completely outside of that domain! For inspiration, see last year’s programme and the archival post on our 2015 campaign.

If you’d like to put on an event, here’s what we need from you by Friday 2 December

  1. date
  2. start time
  3. end time
  4. venue
  5. accessibility (baby changing; BSL/English interpretation; gender-neutral toilets; hearing loop; wheelchair access)
  6. organisation(s)
  7. title
  8. description (maximum 500 characters, with spaces)
  9. tickets (cost, if any, and how to get them)
  10. contact name
  11. contact email*
  12. contact phone*
  13. website/page for more information
  14. Image for the programme (optional)

* By default we will include both your email and phone number in the programme to make it easy for people to contact you. If you do not want one of these listing, please let us know.

Please submit your events using our online form. If you have trouble using the form, you can email us the details instead.

We encourage you to get in contact before setting a time and date – if we can minimise clashes, we can enable people to make the most of the month and maximise attendance at each event! For now, if you can, please try to avoid the daytime on Saturday 11 February and the evenings of Friday 3rd and Thursday 23rd February.

Unsure about an idea for an event? No matter how big or small, quirky or conventional, we’d love to hear your ideas and are happy to act as a sounding board, provide advice and point you in the right direction as much as we can.

A final note: if you have any photos from this year’s events, we’d be grateful to receive them!
