The York Lesbian Arts Festival (YLAF) will be a national event over four days for around 3,000 people, mainly lesbian and bisexual women, at York Racecourse and venues in the York city centre.
We’ll have Horse… at the Racecourse! She’s part of the Unison Celebration Concert hosted by Sue Perkins. And Rosie Lugosi, Claire Mooney and friends will perform at our Cabaret Night.
The Libertas-sponsored book festival is lined up to feature such authors as Ali Smith, Sandi Toksvig, Stella Duffy, Jackie Kay, Val McDermid and Radclyffe – to name only a few of the ones you know and love. There will be a big Libertas stall selling books and DVDs, as well as many more market stalls.
The workshops are back this year, helping you to write love scenes, get in touch with your inner wild woman and we’ve got guided walks round Secret York.
Add that to the UK’s biggest lesbian disco, Club Diva, featuring Sadie Lee, Beat Roots and Jane Czyzselska in the DJ booth as well as Latin and ballroom dancing from Studio LaDanza and you can see we’ve got a jam-packed weekend planned for you.
