Meet up: Queer Love and Longing
Are you looking to make some new bookish friends? Always wanted to come to Sydney Writers’ Festival but don’t have anyone to go with? Recruiting for your book club? Join us for a meet up of the literary minded at Queer Love and Longing on Wednesday 21 May.
Meet us in the Carriageworks foyer at 6pm to chat all things queer lit, have a drink and make a new friend or two, before attending Queer Love and Longing featuring queer literary icons Dylin Hardcastle, Alan Hollinghurst and Yael van der Wouden, chaired by Maeve Marsden, at 7pm.
If you book tickets to Queer Love and Longing using the code MEETUP*, we’ll have a drink voucher (redeemable for an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage) for you on arrival.
At the cart, add the code and then book either an Adult or Concession ticket.
