Drag Queen Story Time
Mayfest 2018Inspired by the forever-fabulous Drag Queen Story Hour (US), Drag Queen Story Time was created for Bristol Pride 2017 and has continued delighting young audiences in the libraries, schools and hospitals of the South West and beyond ever since.
Fairy tales come to life and dress up is real...
Drag Queen Story Time is exactly as it sounds. Drag Queens read stories to children, capturing the imagination and fun of the gender fluidity of childhood, while giving children glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. By providing spaces in which kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions, DQST allows them to imagine the world in which people can present as they wish.
At Mayfest, Drag Queen Story Time will be performed by International drag star Alyssa Van Delle, who will leave you laughing on the floor with her quick wit, and have you up on your feet with her vocal talents.

Audience comment
I think the lessons about diversity and inclusivity are really important for primary school children to learn
