Gay life during the Norwich Blitz (in person)

IN-PERSON EVENT

What was it like for gay men in Norwich before homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967?

This talk marks LGBT+ History Month by exploring the personal diaries of William Dennis, which give us an intimate view into the life of one man who found pleasures and dangers on the streets of wartime Norwich. Join us to hear more about the pubs and workplaces that once hosted a thriving community.

Refreshments will be available 10 minutes before the talk starts. Feel free to grab yourself a cuppa and settle down for an interesting 45 minutes.
