Not had enough of Quivers? Come and let your creativity flow by making your own puppet inspired by Quivers’ creations in this free workshop.

Curated by Ricardo Reverón Blanco and Gemma Rolls-Bentley, Labours of Love is a ground-breaking exhibition made possible with the generous support of Patrick Holmes, welcoming national-profile queer visual artists to Portsmouth.

The exhibition explores the deep and complex relationship between love and work in the queer community. Love, for many queer individuals, is not simply a natural or effortless emotion, but a powerful act of defiance, perseverance, and self-determination.

Alongside the launch of Staggeringly Good’s brand new ‘Queer Beer’ makers, artists and creators both big and small will be filling the Staggeringly Good Taproom with their amazing creations alongside workshops, activities, and amazing food & drink through the day.

Joining us from London, artist Ben Walters will be on hand at the QTOPIA Market running his ‘Queer Utopian Hangout’ where you can get crafty and make some beautiful badges.
