Manchester Pride is 28th - 30th August, so in the lead up to this we thought we'd offer a teaser into queer celebrations, with a panel discussing queer literature!

Layla McCay and Sacha Coward will be visiting HOBAF to discuss their two titles, The Queer Bookshelf and Queer as Folklore respectively, and how these two intersect at a time where queer literature is coming under extreme scrutiny.

Tickets and books are available on our website or in-store 💛
