3000 Lesbians Go To York

3000 Lesbians Go To York tells the extraordinary true story of how a lesbian bookseller (who also happened to be trans) created the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ women in the UK, and how from 1998 to 2008, the quietly conservative city of York became the unlikely centre of all things lesbian! For one decade, thousands of women flocked to the York Lesbian Arts Festival each autumn, to meet their favourite authors, buy books, hear top female artists live on stage and dance the night away at the ‘disco of a thousand lesbians’. This documentary takes you through the festival programmes and on a tour of lesbian culture.
