Join us for our fourth annual evening of performance, art and celebration in collaboration with Chichester Pride, a volunteer led organisation created to support the local LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. This event is very popular, be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
Enjoy free access to the galleries including the latest exhibition Seeing Each Other: Portraits of Artists accompanied by creative activities, tours and, from 7pm, an incredible line-up of entertainment in the courtyard garden.
At 6pm you can join author Peter Parker, in conversation with Gallery Director Simon Martin, as they discuss Peter’s book Some Men in London. This insightful anthology chronicles the history and reality of life for queer men in London following the Second World War, including several artists featured in our latest exhibition. Please note this talk is ticketed separately.
Further details of the other exciting activities and entertainments will be shared nearer to the event.
