Beautiful thing 15

We are proud to be teaming up with the Isle of Wight Gay Men’s Chorus (IWGMC) for the twentieth anniversary of the groundbreaking film, Beautiful Thing.

The movie made waves within LGBTQ culture as a truly inspiring love story between two seemingly incompatible teenagers, set against a backdrop of a South East London estate. It’s touching but full of light-hearted humour.

At a time when the LGBTQ community failed to see positive role models on the big screen, Beautiful Thing was something of a watershed in bringing LGBTQ relationships to the forefront of films.

With only 40 tickets available, space is limited, so book up soon! Come along and enjoy what promises to be a special evening to celebrate a landmark in LGBTQ history…and show your support for the marvellous community on the Island. Please feel free to bring your own refreshments including beer and wine!

Tickets are £6 each and include popcorn.

Tickets are available through the IWGMC website http://iwgmc.org.uk/events.html

The Isle of Wight Gay Men’s Chorus is a community chorus for gay, bisexual and transgender men and their friends and allies of all age ranges (min age 18) and vocal abilities. It’s also got a terrific social network! Last Christmas they packed Bembridge Village Hall to the rafters with their concert…and there’s another coming soon on 23rd July!
