Leeds Rainbow Plaques

Rainbow Plaque Trail 2018

The Rainbow Plaques Trail was produced in 2018 as a temporary trail. It was so successful that some of the rainbow plaques are still in place. Please feel free to have a walk round all the plaque locations but please bear in mind there may no longer be a plaque there.

The trail map can be found by clicking on the image below.

Leeds Civic Trust & Leeds LGBT+ HUB, worked together to prepare a special #RainbowPlaques trail to celebrate & highlight the history, events & people that have influenced our LGBT+ heritage.

We would like to thank the following organisations for sponsoring a Rainbow Plaque; Friends of Dorothy, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Law Society, Mill Hill Chapel, The Works Recruitment, Weightmans, and Yorkshire Dance. If you would be interested in sponsoring a Rainbow Plaque next year, please get in touch with us - funds raised are used to expand the trail. We would also like to thank all the businesses, shops, pubs and buildings that have so readily given permission to display a Rainbow Plaque.

Spotted a missing plaque? Then get nominating! We hope to expand the trail in the future.

Have a great Pride! 

p.s. If you notice an error, please feel free to get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
