A joyful and exhilarating trip across centuries and continents, celebrating stories, magic and myths, presented by Sacha Coward, historian and author of Queer As Folklore.

Sacha Coward has worked in museums and heritage for over 10 years, and is an historian, public speaker and researcher. He has run LGBTQ+ focused tours for museums, cemeteries, archives, and cities around the world.

Sacha has made several appearances on Virgin Radio, speaking on topics such as Turing’s Law and the history of the rainbow flag. He hosted the sell-out ‘Dragged Through History’ event featuring drag queens from UK’s Drag Race such as Sum Ting Wong, Tia Kofi and Divina De Campo. During lockdown he worked on the #MuseumFromHome movement on Twitter, creating daily 60-second videos about history and collections, as featured in ForbesMetro and the BBC’s Culture in Quarantine series.

He has written articles for a huge number of publications, including MetroGay Star News, the National Theatre, Art UK, Queer Bible, Royal Museums Greenwich, and Dig It Scotland, with a focus on LGBTQ+ history, underrepresented audiences in heritage, and mythology and folklore.

In 2024 he published his first book, Queer as Folklore.
