LGBT History Month is coming to London this February. City-wide venues will be packed with events including guest appearances from Sir Derek Jacobi, Stuart Milk, Bonnie Greer, Peter Tatchell and many more.

With a glut of performances, talks and screenings going on, we've picked our favourite things to do at next month's festival.

LOOK OUT LATE: A special Friday late curated by artist Sadie Lee, crammed with performances, workshops and talks. there's live music from Fingersnap and the fabulously-named Jolly Pops. Or get your Northern Soul groove on with DJ Debbie Smith. See our article on Look Out here. £12, prebook, 5 February, 6.30pm

LGBT HISTORY AT THE V&A: A day packed with screenings, Q&As and seminars. Guest speakers include Stuart Milk, and we especially love the sound of Gateway to Heaven — a film about the stories of older LGBT people. All events are free. Just turn up, 6 February, 11am-5.45pm
