The Trans+ Taproom tour
Join Ann and Jules on Friday 6 November as our relaxed trans+ daytime taproom tour.
🍺 2pm: City Taproom, LS1 4BA
🍺 3.30pm: Crown Street Tap, LS2 7EB
🍺 5pm: Old Red Lion, LS11 5BJ
Our final stop is especially meaningful. Following its recent reopening, we’re returning to the Old Red Lion, where trans people gathered over pints and Tuesday pub quizzes before the monthly social that became LFF began next door at Xibit in 2006.
A small gathering of friends helped set our story in motion. This October, we get to make new memories in a place that holds some of our earliest ones. 🩷
As always, no booking is needed. Join at whichever stop suits you, drop in and out as you fancy, and enjoy an afternoon of friendly faces and easy conversation. Whether you’re drinking a pint, a cocktail or something soft, it’s the company that counts.
Thank you to our hosts and everyone who has made these three years so special. Three stops, a third birthday and a little piece of LFF history. See you there! 🏳️⚧️✨
