Why was Pride Festival created?

For five years we’ve encouraged LGBT+ community groups to use Pride Festival as a platform to celebrate diversity in the lead up to the Parade.

Showcase your talents at Pride Festival 2023

We’ve had an overwhelming response for events at this year’s Pride Festival, and sadly applications have now closed. However, we’d love to see you in next year’s Festival! Anyone and everyone from across the LGBT+ community can take part. Whatever you’re planning, from comedy to cabaret and beyond, we want to give you a platform to make it a reality.
