How can I get involved in The Kite Trust events and activities? 🌈

We’re often asked how to join the amazing events we share, and the answer is simple:

just send us an email, via our website!

We don’t publish event details online because we want to keep our spaces safe, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone. The good news? Most of our events are completely FREE!

All you need to do is sign up to our mailing list, and we’ll send you our weekly Eventbrite links so you can see what’s coming up and book your place.

You can also find us out and about at local Pride festivals and other fantastic events across the county.

Be sure to follow us on social media for the latest updates, event news, and everything we’re up to.

We can't wait to see you there! by @thekitetrust
