Homotopia 2026

Saturday 7th — Saturday 21st November

Homotopia Festival 2026 is back: We Come Together

This autumn, the UK’s longest-running LGBTQIA+ arts and culture festival returns to Liverpool with a new theme and a simple invitation: We Come Together.
We come together to gather around a stage. To fill the dancefloor. To join a workshop. To sing with others. To discover a new artist. To celebrate Queer brilliance. To remember our histories and imagine new futures together.

Across October and November, Homotopia Festival 2026: We Come Together will bring artists, audiences and communities together across Liverpool for a celebration of Queer creativity in all its forms. Expect bold performance, visual art, film, music, comedy, club culture, workshops, conversation and plenty of collective joy.
