News and events from The Sparrows' Nest.
From Thursday 25th July to Sunday 4th August 2024 we put on an exhibition at Broadway Cinema Gallery to coincide with Nottingham Pride. We worked with our regular collaborators, People’s Histreh and photographer Alan ‘Tash’ Lodge, and also our fab new friend, journalist and author CJ DeBarra. CJ has just submitted the manuscript of their new, two-volume work entitled Queer Nottingham, forthcoming in early 2025 from Five Leaves. They also gave a sell-out talk at Nottingham Central Library on Thursday 1st August.
