​Festival Fortnight 2019 Programme Launched

Festival Fortnight 19's brochure is now live, with a bigger, better and wider programme than ever before.

It is with great delight that LEAP Sports present the 2019 programme for Festival Fortnight, Scotland’s only lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) sports festival. Jam-packed with over 60 sporting, cultural, academic, social, and recreational events, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t just take our word for it, check out the brochure to see some of the excellent events sports groups and partner organisations have in store for you.

With last year’s festival attracting approximately 1,000 participants, we’re hoping to see numbers continue to grow and we can’t do this without your support. Like, share, retweet; tell your friend, nosey neighbour, dentist; lace up your trainers and get involved, Festival Fortnight is running 17-30 June and we need YOU to make it a success!

You can find out more information on the festival website festivalfortnight.org. Could you use some brochures at your venue? Email your address to sirri@leapsports.org. Stay connected to Festival Fortnight by using #DiverseSport, #FestivalFortnight or tagging @LEAPSports/LEAPsports.org on social media.

Festival Fortnight exists to dismantle stereotypes, build up new positive experiences, and challenge the persistent perception that sport is not a place for LGBTI people. The festival endeavours to increase the participation and visibility of LGBTI people in sport, while also highlighting LGBTI and wider equality and human rights issues in sport.
