Rooted in Coventry [Cov] and blossoming beyond, Autumn Is Queer is a playful identity forthe city designed to transform how we celebrate varied identity, community, seasonal change, and of course the mighty ‘Cov’. In a world filled with hate and division, launching from 22nd September to 30th November 2025 [Autumn], Coventry will embrace Autumn as
the naturally queer season it has always truly been - dramatic, transitional, unapologetic, and camp (hello Halloween!).
Through theatre, music, public art, storytelling, and playful city-wide interventions, Autumn Is Queer invites everyone - LGBTQIA+ and allies alike - to celebrate our differences and feel proud of whoever we happen to be. We’re building a network of Autumn Allies, Advocates and Activists [artists, educators, businesses and supporters] to equip this vision and provide a backstop to the hate filled world outside - let’s, yet again, start that in Coventry.
Whether you can offer funding, skills, space, or solidarity, there is a meaningful role for you.Together, we can establish Coventry as the UK’s proudest Autumn Ally - proving that our differences aren’t problems to fix, but beauty to celebrate.
Autumn is Queer.
Coventry is Ready.
Be a part of it, and ideally invest in the power of what it could become.
