Heartstopper fans across the UK and around the world are being invited to contribute to a unique art installation: The Heartstopper Pride Flag', commissioned by Netflix and displayed at Queer Britain.

This summer, a nationwide tour of Pride events will feature a Heartstopper pop-up experience, bringing lead character Charlie Spring's iconic bedroom to Glasgow, Liverpool and Brighton. Fans will not only be able to experience the world of Heartstopper by stepping into the sets of the hit series, but they will also be given exclusive access to watch never-before-seen clips from the upcoming season, and hear personal messages from the cast, ahead of the its anticipated launch on Netflix 3rd October.

At each pop-up event, fans will be invited to hand write personal notes about how the show has had an impact on their lives, focusing in particular on messages to anyone who has given them support or strength in their life. Messages will be integrated into the creation of the Heartstopper Pride Flag', with fans worldwide also able to contribute messages online at: www.heartstopperlove.com.

A to-be-announced artist will use these fan messages to design a unique Pride-inspired flag, driven by the love for the series from its big fan base across the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. The flag will be unveiled this October, around the series' launch, and will then be housed in Queer Britain's museum.

Alice Oseman, writer and creator of Heartstopper, said: I've heard so many stories about Heartstopper fans saying the series has helped them through pivotal moments in their personal lives, like coming out to family and friends. As the characters in the series are growing up, so are their stories, and season three will see them having to support each other through difficult moments. I'm so hopeful that Heartstopper can continue to be a source of inspiration and support for young people, and thrilled that fans' personal stories will now be immortalised in this piece of artwork. We've also got some fun stuff to show you at the Pride pop-ups this summer !

Joseph Galliano-Doig MBE, Director of Queer Britain, said: As the UK's only LGBTQ+ museum, we are delighted to be partnering with Netflix and their groundbreaking show Heartstopper, and excited to be displaying artwork which will give fans' stories a lasting legacy. Queer Britain is the perfect place for the characters of Charlie, Nick, their friends and family to explore their histories and culture - and the welcome we offer is as warm and inclusive as Heartstopper is. I only wish both had existed when I was younger.

The Heartstopper fan pop-up will appear at the following Pride events:

20th July - Glasgow - Ross Street, Glasgow G1 5AR

27th July - Liverpool - Canada Boulevard, Liverpool L3 1DP

3rd & 4th August - Brighton - Preston Park, Brighton BN1 6SD

About Heartstopper S3

Charlie would like to tell Nick that he loves him. Nick also has something important to say to Charlie.
