Manchester 'Pride in Ageing' Book Club

LGBT Foundation's Pride in Ageing programme is bringing different generations of LGBTQ+ readers together every 6 weeks to discuss great LGBTQ+ reads. The group began in 2024 by reading Armistead Maupin's much-loved series 'Tales of the City' - yes all 10 books!

At future meetings we will be discussing books by older LGBTQ+ authors, books which feature story-lines about older LGBTQ+ characters (as well as younger ones!) and writers who use humour in their exploration of LGBTQ+ issues. If this sounds of interest to you please do join us!

This event is open to anyone aged 18+, and the book club meets in person at LGBT Foundation's Community Hub at Fairbairn House. To be part of this session, please book a ticket via the eventbrite page here and read the book before the event.

If you would like our reading list for upcoming sessions please email prideinageing@lgbt.foundation. We try to choose books that are available widely from libraries and to buy - and those that are available too online as an e-book or audio-book. Sometimes we may be able to offer the books as a loan in the weeks leading up to the meetings. If you are having issues getting hold of a book please let us know.

This event has been produced by the Pride in Ageing programme at LGBT Foundation. If you have any questions about accessing this event please contact prideinageing@lgbt.foundation.
