Meetup: LGBTQ Tour at V&A Museum

Rainbow flag blowing in the wind

 

We all had a blast for St Patrick’s Day so, we thought it would be nice to have another informal get together.

Please join us for the FREE LGBTQ tour at Victoria and Albert Museum on Saturday next, March 30th. We’ll meet at reception at 3.45pm, look out for the little Irish flag!

Also please remember to give yourself time to get through security!

Friends and allies welcome. It would be great to see you all!

Find out more about the tour at the V&A website.
