This year we're exploring themes of gender and sexuality as we mark 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. Were hosting events and exhibitions that tell the stories of the men and women who challenged conventional notions of gender and sexuality and who shaped the properties in which they lived. Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire In 2016, Beningbrough took part in Portraits Untold, a project that reflected on creativity, identity and difference. The resulting portrait of performance artist David Hoyle by award-winning disabled artist Tanya Raabe-Webber is on display until 5 November. From 12-15 October, Raabe-Webber will return as artist in residence, in conversation with different sitters, giving them the opportunity to share their stories of diversity, in front of an audience. The event will be interactive with visitors in the room, and through social media, invited to take part in the conversation, or get involved by sketching both traditionally and digitally. Hadrians Wall, Northumberland When Hadrian ruled ancient Rome, there was nothing unusual about same-sex relations. What was extraordinary was his outpouring of grief over the death of his younger male lover Antinous.
