York is located about two hours away from London, but this annual four-day festival in October attracts upwards of 3000 women, making it the biggest lesbian event in the U.K. The aim of the festival is to promote lesbian culture including music, performance, literature and visual arts. The 2008 line-up is exceptional with Guinevere Turner, Val McDermid, Stella Duffy, Radycliffe and many more already on board.
