Join us for a very special event celebrating one of the most beloved LGBTQ+ stories of a generation.
Alice Oseman, the creator behind the Heartstopper universe, joins Fisayo Akinade to reflect on the extraordinary journey of Nick and Charlie - from webcomic to graphic novel phenomenon to global Netflix sensation - and to discuss the recently released Heartstopper Forever, the conclusion that brought the story full circle. Expect clips, conversation, and more than a little nostalgia.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear Alice speak candidly about the legacy of a series that has meant so much to so many; a story built on kindness, queer joy, and the quiet power of being seen.
Whether you've been there since the early days or discovered Heartstopper along the way, come ready to celebrate everything it has given us.
