There will be extracts from the book by Clare Summerskill 'Gateway to Heaven: Fifty years of lesbian and gay oral history', a book that has been getting talked about more than 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Jackie Kay will also read from her latest work. Plus art, poetry, authors, and more.

The Comedy

The laughing Cows comedy features lesbian favourite Jen Brister, Suzi Ruffell, Julie Jepson, and Kerry Leigh.

The Other Bits

There's also some other lovely bits to make the weekend more enjoyable and even more girly, such as the pampering retreat, workshops galore, activities, a cinema to showcase some of the best films and of course The L Project will be performing their charity single.

There's somewhere for the little ones to stay and play and under sixteens go free.

The L Fest solo club is back so coming by yourself is also fun. A specific crew designated to meet and greet you and introduce you to others in the group as soon as you arrive. There's a solos camping area, a group meet & greet at 8pm on Friday at L Fest where you can meet others to take part in activities together.

Activities

As well as music, there's also sports, inflatables, climbing wall, archery and riverboat cruises are all on offer. Don't forget the sports and activities, taking you back to your youth with the School sports day and games such as rounders and tug of war, so put on your best St Trinian's outfit and join us on the field.

Camping

Camping is all on-site allowing festival goers access to all venues and activities.

This venue is flat, has tarmac roadways throughout and there is ample free parking. There are also flushing toilets and showers, and buildings for workshops and sessions plus improved access for those with disabilities.
