Join authors John Grindrod and Luke Turner in conversation for a fascinating exploration of LGBTQ+ lives in suburbia throughout 20th Century Britain.

Throughout LGBTQ+ history, suburbia has been seen as somewhere to escape from: a place where heterosexuality rules; where difference will not be tolerated; where you’ll never find a soulmate. But for many, those streets of twitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were – or still are – a place to call home.

Luke Turner is a writer and editor based in London. His most recent book Men At War: Loving Lusting Fighting Remembering 1939-1945 is a critically-acclaimed account of masculinity and sexuality during the Second World War and how the conflict impacts our culture today. He is co-founder and editor of online culture magazine The Quietus.

The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Your ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine. Tickets here.
