News and events

News and events from The Sparrows' Nest.

We have the pleasure to announce that we have been entrusted with documents relating to the Out House Project, a Nottingham based LGBTQ+ project which worked between the 1980s and mid 2000s to establish a community centre.

Last month (27-29 Sep 2019) we held our very successful Nottingham Prints exhibition at the Nottingham Contemporary. It was an exhausting, but excellent weekend.

On Saturday 27th April we ran a workshop as guests of the Notts Zine Library, currently based at Nottingham Contemporary.
