About Me

queerupnorth is Europe's leading queer festival - a Manchester institution, the first of its kind in the UK and Europe, and an internationally known producer of queer arts.
Arts Council England proposes to stop funding queerupnorth from April 2008. This would lead to the cancellation of the 2008 festival, the end of our unique programme of work with young people and schools, and an end to our sixteen year history as the most adventurous and creative queer arts & cultural producer in the UK.
If Arts Council England ends its funding, queerupnorth will have to close. If you would like to help us prevent that, please add your name to the petition below.

Salva Mea

Faithless were amazing on Friday night. It is the fourth time I have seen them and the best. Maxi Jazz is such a big inspiration to me. I found the concert very cathartic and uplifting. Revived my spi...
