QTW is Jane Hoy and Helen Sandler. Together they have toured Wales and England with entertaining stories about queer characters in Welsh history. They also run Aberration, an LGBTQ+ arts and culture organisation in Aberystwyth. www.aberration.org.uk/queer-tales-from-wales.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Swansea PRIDE has been moved to the Brangwyn Hall for 2023.
