Please try and buy tickets as a team and/or leave a note to say who you would like to be grouped with.Launched in 2019, Out On An Island – 100 years of LGBTQ+ History with an Isle of Wight connection is a heritage and oral history project brought to you by StoneCrabs and led by Project Manager Caroline Diamond and Artistic Director Franko Figueiredo.
Out On An Island could not have succeeded without its team of over 40 people who have recorded, researched and written about our local LGBTQ+ history and shared their stories with a passion to celebrate the diversity that unites us, shining a light on the exclusion and laws that divide us.
We recorded 20 oral histories which were wonderful, inspiring at times, sometimes heart-breaking or just sad and others beautifully celebratory. These oral histories will be archived at Carisbrooke Castle Museum, Island Voices collection and The Wessex Sound and Film Archives in Winchester who are keen to build on their limited LGBTQ+ archives to provide a more rounded picture of the past.
We visited both museums and newspaper and magazine archives to research our history. People generously shared personal recollections and items of memorabilia all connected to the Isle of Wight’s rich LGBTQ+ history.
