Gloucestershire looks forward to The Big Day
Gloucestershire Pride 2014 will be a
celebration - “50 years of progress to LGB&T
Equality”. Assembling in front of the steps
of Shire Hall in Westgate Street, Gloucester,
the start of the parade will be proclaimed by
Gloucester’s Town Crier, Alan Myatt, who will
lead the parade through the city centre streets
and the docks area. In a break with tradition
there will be no speeches before the parade sets
off. These will be made from the main stage on
arrival at Gloucester Park.
A series of banners designating each decade
(1960’s, 1970’s through to 2010’s), produced
as cut-outs, will be decorated to represent the
styles of the period. ‘Community events’ will
be held in the lead up to the day for members
of the community to get involved in producing
these. The banners will break the parade up
into sections.
For each decade a number of ‘placards’ will be
produced for those taking part in the parade to
carry, highlighting key events of each decade.
The parade will be a celebration of progress,
referencing the ‘protests’ of the past in the
successes achieved.
Members of the community are invited to
dress up to represent a decade, an event or in
the style of a particular period. There will be
prizes for the best costumes (male and female
entrants).
After the parade, come and join everybody
in the park for live entertainment,
community groups, a huge party and the first
Gloucestershire Pride LGBT wedding fair.
