QUEER STRATFORD: A historic walking tour of LGBTQ+ Stratford led by the local community

Saturday 15th June 2024, 11am-12:30pm

Discover LGBTQ+ History 

There is a vibrant LGBTQ+ presence in Stratford, much of  which remains part of its rich hidden history. Join us for a unique walking tour led by the local LGBTQ+ community.

Walking Tour Guide Training for LGBTQ+ Community 

We are leading a series of workshops to train members of the local LGBTQ+ community to become Walking Tour Guides. These are free workshops taking place on 30th  May, 6th June, 13th June from 18:30 – 20:30 at the Old Town  Hall E15 4BQ. If you are interested in joining please  contact us for more information.

Led by Queer Activist Philip Rescorla & Trained  Guides 

Philip Rescorla, a prominent queer activist and member of the renowned community choir Pink Singers, will lead the tour alongside our Walking Tour Guides workshop graduates. Together they will unveil hidden stories, landmarks and cultural gems that reflect the vibrant LGBTQ+ presence in Stratford, spanning back to the rich history of the early 1970s.

Celebrate Diversity, Embrace Inclusivity 

This isn’t just a walk; it’s an opportunity to celebrate diversity, embrace inclusivity and honour the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals throughout history. Everyone is welcome to join. Bring your friends, family and allies as we walk together towards a more inclusive future.
