Who’s Queer Now

Making Our Own World

A Pride Cymru project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

As part of our contribution to LGBT History Month 2017, Pride Cymru created an event about LGBT+ people’s love of the Doctor Who universe, “Who’s Queer Now?”. The event and social media discussions have shown how LGBT+ people have embraced the fantasy worlds of Doctor Who and made it space we can be ourselves in.

Who’s Queer Now took place at the National Museum of Wales on 25th February 2017. It comprised of a day of conversations about the worlds of Doctor Who and their impact on LGBT people.

Guest panellists included:

  • Russell T Davies (creator of New Who)
  • Waris Hussein (director of the first ever episode)
  • Bethany Black (474 in Sleep No More)
  • Gareth David Lloyd (Ianto in Torchwood)
  • Phil Collinson (producer)
  • Nicholas Pegg & Barnaby Edwards (Daleks and Big Finish)
  • David Llewellyn (Big Finish & Who novelist)
  • James Goss (Who website & novelist)
  • Christel Dee (BBC Worldwide)
  • Roz Kaveney (critic & novelist)
  • Edward Russell (Brand Manager, Doctor Who)
  • Llyr Morus – BBC Series Producer

2025 Festival Accessibility?

We understand that many members of the community require additional support in accessing events, services and facilities throughout the city. We were awarded the GOLD award on Attitude is Everything’s Live Events Access Charter in 2019 and re-awarded the Gold award in 2023 for our hard work and commitment to making Pride Cymru as accessible as possible for Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent people.

Where will the 2025 Festival be held?

For 2025, we are moving back to the location of our very first event: Coopers Field, Bute Park. This site gives us much more flexibility and our team has already started working on making sure this event is the most accessible yet!

When is the 2025 festival?

The 2025 festival is currently due to be Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd June.
