Out in Yorkshire is a social group for lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer women, and women who are questioning their sexuality. We are mostly based in Leeds but hope to spread throughout Yorkshire as time goes on. We started in 2010 as a small group of women who wanted to create lovely, safe and inclusive spaces that were laid back, fun and welcoming.
Don’t want to come on your own? Or want to bring your partner or friends? Members are welcome to bring their partners and friends too (who are female, male, gay, bi, straight, or anything in between). If you have children, feel free to bring them along to our regular cafe meet or to other child-friendly events. We are a diverse group of women, so whoever you are, you’ll fit right in…

Hi Lisa,
We have a meet up this coming Saturday – hope you can make it! For details, check out the New News section or email outinyorkshire at yahoo dot co dot uk
See you soon!
We were there alright! There must have been well over a dozen of us at one point, although numbers varied as some wandered off to look around the museum or arrived late or left early. We were in the corner near the doors leading outside. Look for a bunch of chatty women. If you would like us to look out for you next time, e-mail us at outinyorkshire at yahoo dot com
Hi
I have just been looking at the site and it seems very interesting. My partner and I have a 2 year old, could someone let me know if there are any other parents with chidren attending the groups at all.
Thank you
At the moment no-one brings any children. But one of our initial ideas was that if someone wanted or needed to do so we would be able to accomodate it. That’s partly why we have our Sunday afternoon meetings in the Musuem coffee shop.
Made it this time – I really enjoyed myself its a lovely group very welcoming. See you next Sunday X
Hey ladies,
I picked up a flyer the other day on something called “The Other Guide”, not sure if you’ve heard of it? It’s a website that’s due to launch on 7th May, and described as “Yorkshire’s definitive guide to what’s on, events, listings and information on lesbian and bisexual women’s interests”. It also offers to advertise local relevant events/ organisations/ businesses, so I thought it might be worth informing them about OiY. What do you think?
As you said, the website’s not up yet, but they’re already active on Facebook if people want to take a look.
Sounds like a space where I could flourish. We need this in Yorkshire!!!
Hi I’m just in the process of re locating to the area….I hope to meet you soon!!
Excellent! It’s great in West Yorkshire, sun shining, everyone’s happy! Our next event is a trip to Tropical World at Roundahay Park on 16th June, so come get to know Leeds and some people at the same time.
