Pride at City Lit
City Lit is proud to introduce a new selection of Pride-inspired courses for 2026. We believe learning can strengthen communities, challenge assumptions and celebrate the richness of LGBTQIA+ lives. Our short courses are designed to be accessible, engaging and rooted in real stories and perspectives. With guidance from expert tutors, you’ll find a supportive space to explore, ask questions, and deepen your understanding.
We also invite you to join us for The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened, a powerful live event that brings these histories to life and reminds us why LGBTQIA+ stories matter now more than ever.
