Homotopia has confirmed it will take over the city for three weeks once again

Homotopia Festival will be returning to Liverpool for its 20th year "of queer magic and cultural adventures." The three-week-long event provides a platform for artists in theatre, music, spoken word, film, performance and more.

Celebrating work by LGBTQ+ artists from inside and outside of the city, the festival showcases arts and culture through a queer lens.Fans of the festival have been urged to "save the date", as with the festival hitting a milestone year - 20th - the organisers have teased they are "going big." This year’s show will run from Saturday, November 11 to Friday, December 1 and will include parties, music art and community events. Acts have yet to be announced but the Liverpool ECHO will be keeping you updated when they are.

2022’s Homotopia festival took place in various venues across Liverpool’s city centre and focused on the theme of “Queer Joy is a Protest”. Stories of trans visibility and allyship, queer history, punk identity and gender fluidity were shared and we expect the upcoming event to be no different. Gary Everett, from Allerton, founded Homotopia - the Liverpool-based arts and social justice organisation in 2004. Since then and under the eye of the current festival director, Char Binns, the company has helped hundreds of artists make a cultural impact through their work and activism.
