One very lesbian weekend...If you've kissed a girl and liked it then you'll LOVE the York Lesbian Arts Festival - three days of wall-to-wall sapphic wonderfulness set in the beautiful, historic city of York. Whether you're a dancer, a reader, a writer or simply a keen observer of lesbian talent (of all kinds) there's something for you at YLAF. The dancers can strut their stuff alongside hundreds of other lady-likers at York racecourse on Saturday night as DIVA editor Jane Cyzselska is just one of the DJs taking to the decks to play club classics as well as cheesy tunes. The readers can hear their heroes talk about their work, with Go Fish! creator and L Word scriptwriter Guinevere Turner topping a bill that includes crime queen Val McDermid, Stella Duffy and Jackie Kay at the two-day book festival. The writers can pick their brains at a series of workshops designed to produce the next generation of lesbian talent to make YLAF a fixture in the sapphic calendar for many years to come. The rest of you can enjoy the fun and games of Thursday night's Love Lottery, when couples and singles can win fantastic prizes in a night hosted by Jean T, and sit back and watch a fantastic evening of entertainment at York's Opera House on Saturday night as US singer Erin McKeown is joined on stage by British lesbian favourites Greymatter and Claire Summerskill.
If there's nothing that takes your fancy in that line-up, we'll be round to take away your Lesbian Membership Card.
