Are you attending the biggest pride events this summer?

Pride is a celebration of life, love and liberty as well as enjoying the parades and parties. It’s a chance for the community to come together and belonging to that community. It might be fun to visit one this summer and get a feel for yourself.

This event takes place in the heart of the city centre and is very popular, with visitors flocking from all over the place, it is known for being one of biggest Prides in the country.
