Our Stories: Queer in the Countryside

A groundbreaking season of music, performance, film, art and workshops.

LGBTQIA+ people don’t just live in cities! This May-August BAC celebrates LGBTQIA+ lives and creativity in rural West Dorset.

The season profiles work by local LGBTQIA+ artists and performers – some of whom will be returning to their Dorset roots to join the celebration. We are also running a series of events that aim to develop emerging local LGBTQIA+ writing talent.

We hope that the season is a small step towards celebrating the true diversity of West Dorset, making our rural community feel more inclusive – and making it visible.
