It is with great pleasure that LEAP presents the 2017 Festival Fortnight brochure. Jam-packed with over 40 sporting, cultural, academic, social and recreational events, there really is something for everyone.

You can also follow us on Twitter or Facebook, where many of our events are also listed. Remember to use #DiverseSport when posting on social media, we’ll be collecting the best photos and posts from throughout the fortnight.

Festival Fortnight aims to increase the visibility and participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in Scottish sport, provides opportunities to raise awareness of LGBTI issues within sport and creates spaces to examine wider equality, inclusion and human rights issues within the world of sport and physical activity.
