Hackney Pride Fayre: 'Bona to vada!' POLARI workshop

  • Homerton Library 133 Homerton High Street London, England, E9 6AS United Kingdom (map)

'How bona to vada your dolly old eek!'

In the decades before decriminalisation, gay and queer men spoke ‘Polari’ - a secret gay slang that allowed gay men to ‘hide in plain sight’.

In this workshop learn the ‘rules’ of the language, decipher words and phrases, and make up your own sentences and mini-scenes for others to work out.

  • 3.30 - 4.45

Age group: 16+

Ticket price: FREE with a ticket, ticket link below
