LGBT Foundation's 50th Anniversary Closing Party

In 2025, LGBT Foundation proudly marked our 50th anniversary with a huge programme that put queer culture, history, and hope centre stage.

We warmly invite you to join us as we conclude our milestone celebrations with:

• A first look at Our Queer Future, an illustrated vision of the future of queer hope and joy created by you and brought to life by Illuscribe
• The premiere of the 50 Years of Queer Hope & Joy film, showcasing highlights from the last year, created by Film on the Brain
• Heritage Badge Making, with images of items from LGBT Foundation's collections held at Archives+ at Manchester Central Library
• Free copies of Out NorthWest, a special collectors' edition of LGBT Foundation's iconic lifestyle and culture magazine
• And a delicious afternoon tea provided by Richmond Tea Rooms

Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. 50 Years of Queer Hope and Joy is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to celebrate and share stories of LGBTQ+ communities and activism in the North West and beyond, from 1975 to the present day.
