An LGBTQ+ coffee and conversation morning will take place at Byron’s Rest on Baker Street on Saturday, August 27 from 10am to 1pm.

Posting on the Hucknall Pride Facebook group, organisers said: “The session is a vital part of the up coming weekend of festivities as it offers a safe space for those who may wish to talk in confidence about their journey.

"Not every ‘coming out’ story is a fairy tale, family based homophobia or judgmental friends are both something that happen all too often.

"Knowing there is someone there to listen and offer friendly advice can sometimes mean the world.

"The session aims to give those who want to talk a voice and be heard and share past experiences which may help those trying to find who they are.

"We invite you to drop in for a free cuppa, a digestive and say hello.”
