Hand in Hand Festival is the national LGBTQ+ choir festival for the UK and Ireland. Every two years, singers, allies, and audiences come together for a weekend that celebrates music, visibility, and community.

Founded in 2013 by Proud Voices UK & Ireland, the festival was inspired by the international Various Voices gatherings, with a vision to create a homegrown event that amplifies LGBTQ+ voices closer to home. Since then, Hand in Hand has grown from its London debut to vibrant festivals in Brighton, Manchester, Cardiff, and Bristol. In 2027, we bring this legacy to Blackpool.
