House Proud

House Proud returns to its home at Hatchlands for another fabulous evening of queer history! Revel in the queer ecology found in the park and enjoy an evening of music, song and performance, surrounded by historic instruments and art.

  • Booking advisable

Take a walk with ecologist Connor Butler to learn what the emerging theory of queer ecology is all about, and join historian Sheldon K. Goodman to revisit some of the LGBTQ+ histories represented in the treasures you’ll find in the house. The Surrey Rainbow Choir will be back for their fourth year in a row, with more acts yet to be announced.

With talks and performances happening at different times in different parts of the house and garden throughout the evening, you'll be free to explore and join in with the bits that most interest you.

A full timetable will be available on the night to help you plan your evening.
