The Festival
"YLAF has been a permanent fixture on my calendar for nearly ten years. It's the best place to meet sane, sorted, intelligent, thoughtful - and lesbian - women en masse."
Manda Scott
"YLAF just gets better and better every year and this year is going to be brilliant! Whatever you do, don't miss it!"
Jenny Roberts
“Wild horses couldn’t stop me attending YLAF every year. Not least because much of the event is far wilder than the wild horses themselves.”
