April-June: Out Loud

This Spring, explore all things sound at The Hive with our new cultural events theme Out Loud. Delve into the worlds of music, sound, communication, spoken word, oral history, voices and expression, with events and experiences that you might not usually expect to see at your local library.

The Hive is a great place for reading and study, but it’s also a cultural hub with so much more going on which deserves to be shouted about. With guest talks, performances, wellbeing experiences, exhibitions, lecture presentations from the University of Worcester and so much more on offer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy...

Lisa Power in Conversation

Thursday 20 June, 7pm-8:30pm

Lisa Power MBE, co-founder of Stonewall and the Pink Paper, is an icon of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and a force to be reckoned with. Described by London Friend as “an outspoken lesbian and role model since the 1970s”, Lisa was active in the fight against Section 28, Secretary General of the International Lesbian and Gay Association, and the first openly queer person to speak for LGBTQ+ rights at the UN in New York.

Lisa will speak about her life of campaigning, her biggest achievements and her incredible journey at The Hive, with plenty of time to ask questions.
