Drag queens set to read stories to children at Birmingham festival - with video
Drag queens and children are set to meet at Birmingham's SHOUT festival as they read a selection of children's stories.
Ginny Lemon and Yshee Black are set to take to the stage for the family-friendly that combines stories, songs and dress-up.
The event is aimed at capturing the imagination and playfulness of self-expression, giving children role models who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagining a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.
SHOUT Festival is coming to Birmingham from November 9 to 19 with a host of films, theatre, talks, visual arts, performances and more that highlight different intersections of the LGBT community.
This year SHOUT received the news that the festival had been successful in its application to join Arts Council England's National Portfolio for 2018 to 2022, meaning that yhey can expand their work into new areas such as supporting the development of emerging artists.
This year's festival features a wide array of entertainment, including film screenings, live performances and more.
Drag Queen Story Time will take place from 1.15pm until 2pm on Sunday, November 12, 2017.
