November 2014 sees the return of Manchester’s Sapphormation Festival, for Women Who Love Women….

Now in its third year The Sapphormation Festival is a two day event of activity, discussion, live events and good food taking place on 1st and 2nd November. This year’s theme is ‘Breaking the mould’ and provides a welcoming and eclectic space to try out new things and explore key issues and ideas relevant to women today. Highlights of the event include a panel discussion on the theme of ‘Mad, Bad and Dangerous?'; film showings; workshops; storytelling; poetry; arts tent and Rapture Club night. The heart and home of the festival is the Joyce Layland LGBT Centre close to Manchester City Centre. The Sidney St Cafe will offer a great range of food all day on Saturday.
