As event organisers we are always looking for ways
to make our pride a little different each year and
this year sees the introduction of the family area,
and Ben Reeves, chair said “the popularity of the
event promotes inclusivity between the LGBT
community and the wider community by coming
together and enjoying a colourful day of music,
entertainment, education and most of all fun. We
were seeing more and more family’s coming along
to enjoy the day. We want to be able to cater for
all our visitors on the day and have added this year
for the first time a dedicated family area where
you will be able to enjoy, face painting, games and
much more”.
The event starts with a colourful Parade through
the streets of old town, starting in and ending in
the Town Gardens. The theme for this year is the
celebrating of Gay Marriage, bring a flag of the
country that has passed the Gay Marriage Bill. If
