Winter Celebration (Edinburgh, BSL interpreted)

Join @lgbthealthy for a festive showcase to champion the contributions of our community this past year. It’s our annual, family-friendly celebration involving a wide range of community members and allies, to honour artistic achievements and to celebrate our solidarity and strength together.
Expect a warm welcome, homemade goodies and the opportunity to lift spirits and look forward together, as the year draws to an end. Our programme will be packed to the brim with guest performances, sharing some of the wonderful talents involved in our programme throughout this past year and hopefully inspiring you to get involved for the year to come. With seasoned performances and first timers, it’s always a box of delights (IUKYK)!

This year performances include:

• Loud and Proud Choir (Choir/music)

And many more to be announced soon!

Kids from Rainbow Families! There’s a spotlight just for you…

Are you in a Rainbow Family and under 16? Great! If you would like to get up on stage and share a poem, story or a joke, or even play your instrument, I’m keeping a slot in the programme just for you!

Parents: you’ll need to accompany the young person to the event and all be available on Sunday 1st December The show runs from 3-5pm but you’d be welcome to come earlier to check out the space. Contact me via [email protected] by November 8th explaining what you’d like to share and what you might need to help you do so.
