Taking place from 26 May to 30 June 2025, Queer Bath aims to spotlight the contributions of LGBTQ+ communities in Bath throughout history, and bring to light narratives that have been overlooked, misrepresented, or erased.

The event is a collaboration between local museums and institutions and partners such as Bath Arts Collective and legendary local queer cabaret WIG!

The Queer Bath campaign will offer a diverse range of creative events during the five-week programme from community days, talks and film screenings exploring queer heritage, to comedy nights, live performances and cabarets celebrating the thriving LGBTQ+ community in the city today. All events are either free or priced affordably, ensuring that they are as accessible as possible.

In addition to events, venues are also exploring their own collections, archives and histories to uncover hidden queer stories — identifying artists, historians, writers and intellectuals who may have been LGBTQ+ or had queer-coded histories, and sharing these findings through trails, talks, exhibitions, and digital content.

Numerous iconic venues will be taking part and running their own campaigns including The Holburne Museum, The American Museum & Gardens, Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (BRLSI), Bath Assembly Rooms, The Roman Baths & Pump Room (Bath & North East Somerset Council), Bath Preservation Trust (Beckford’s Tower and the Museum of Bath Architecture).
