Welcome to Out in the Sticks, Herefordshire's festival of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans themed events for everyone!

The 2012 festival will be from 12-19 May and there will be a wide range of events that everyone is encouraged to be part of, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity - you don't have to be L,G,B or T to enjoy the programme!

Headlining next year's festival will be 4 Poofs and a Piano, made famous as the house band on the BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross Show.

We will post more events here as and when they are confirmed.

The festival is organised by the Rainbow Forum, a local LGBT group, in partnership with the Courtyard Centre for the Arts, Herefordshire Council and NHS Herefordshire and funded by local organisations such as West Mercia Police and Herefordshire Housing.

Herefordshire is more accessible than you might think; there are direct trains right into the city centre from London, Manchester, Worcester, Birmingham and Wales, so come along and show your support whilst having a great time!

Brochures are available from the beginning of April throughout Herefordshire at Info Shops, Tourist Information Centres, Libraries and at the Courtyard Centre for the Arts to name but a few.  

All enquiries should be directed to Lynsey Radmore on 07732 074900 or email lynsey@rainbowforum.co.uk.
