Returning for its 20th year Sugar & Spice is LGBT Foundation’s annual celebration of LGBTQ+ women.
Our 20th anniversary of Sugar & Spice marks the start of International Women’s Week, and is a cornerstone of LGBT Foundation’s annual calendar of events for queer and LGBTQ+ women.
“Sugar and Spice is more than just an annual event; it’s a testament to the strength and resilience of queer women. This festival has been a powerful showcase of their diverse voices and experiences here in Manchester. It is without a doubt one of my favourite moments of the year; I hope you’ll join us in celebrating all the fabulous women in our lives and revel in the joy of being queer!” Jax Effiong (She/Her), Chair of LGBT Foundation’s Board of Trustees
The following workshops are for LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people who wish to access a women centred space. You must be aged 18+ to attend.
