Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
London on 24 Jun - 11am
To mark the beginning of Pride Festival 2017, join glamorous bearded drag lady Timberlina for a troll around some of Sohos notorious queer haunts and back passages past and present. Beginning at the Gallery, you will pay homage to famous LGBTQI figures in the Collection before hitting the streets to visit such sites as The Hotel Caf Royal where Oscar Wilde fell in love with Lord Alfred Douglas - and Derek Jarmans flat on Charing Cross Road. Timberlina will also divulge and reminisce about the locations of some of her youthful indiscretions. Refreshments may be taken en route. Sensible footware is advised but not mandatory.
