Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It marks the World Health Organisations decision to remove homosexuality from its Classification of Diseases, a milestone in the fight for equality.
This year’s theme, “At the heart of democracy,” reminds us that true democracy must include LGBTQIA+ people in every space, at every level.
Yet across the world, LGBTQ+ rights, especially trans rights, are facing growing challenges.
Today, we stand together: for dignity, for justice, and for a future where everyone can live freely and authentically.

Our walk upto Druids Altar last weekend was a slow gentle stroll around the woods in Bingley ending at Ivy's Cafe. We avoided some pretty angry geese and made friends with the cutest squirrels!

We joined Ilkley Pride & Diversity at Ilkley Carnival on Monday
Dressed as crayons inspired by The Day the Crayons Quit, we brought colour, creativity, and a message of inclusion to the parade.
It was an incredible day celebrating community. We had a great time exploring the carnival in the sun.

We're really excited to welcome @wat3rfl0wer from Riga, to share their unique perspecive on music making. Join Waterflower exploring how plants can be used to generate sound in real time. Using bioelectrical signals from flowers, they create evolving ambient soundscapes that shift and evolve.

Visitors are invited to come and go, observe the process, and experience how living matter can shape music. Waterflower will be working live and sharing insights into their practice as the session unfolds #waterflower
