Join host Maeve Marsden and some of Byron Shire's finest LGBTQI+ storytellers for a night of queer stories, unexpected tales of lives well lived and battles fought, pride, prejudice, love and humour.

Fast becoming an institution around the country, Queerstories has been selling out events around the country for more than two years, bringing storytellers from all walks of life to the stage. Now, Queerstories travels to Mullumbimby to celebrate local pride.

The LGBTQI+ community has been sharing stories for centuries, creating our own histories, disrupting and reinventing conventional ideas about narrative, family, love and community. There’s so much more to being queer than coming out and getting married. Listen to an unexpected tale or two from an eclectic line up of stars and strangers.

Funny, moving, surprising and engaging, the stories from Queerstories are also available on a podcast and as a collection of stories published by Hachette and launched at the Sydney Opera House in 2018.

Line up to be announced.

This event is Auslan interpreted and wheelchair accessible.
