Bradford LGBTQ+ History Walking Tour
Alice Parsons, Castles in the Sky Projects
If the streets could talk, what would they have to say?
If the streets could talk, what would they have to say?
Alice Parsons, founder of Castles in the Sky Projects and curator of Back in the Pink, lead a special walking tour of Bradford city centre – and showed the history of the city’s LGBTQ+ activism, nightlife and community that hides here in plain sight.
About the Back in the Pink Weekender
Back in the Pink was Bradford 2025’s series dedicated to the rich and radical history of LGBTQ+ life in the city, with a weekend-long celebration of gay life – past, present and future.
We travelled back in time to explore the activism, community and culture of Bradford’s LGBTQ+ communities in the late 20th century. We connected with today’s LGBTQ+ community at workshops, discussions and a Saturday-night party.
