This Month is Pride – a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ (this stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and queer – the + is an inclusive symbol to include people of all identities) communities around the globe. The reason why Pride is celebrated in June is because this is when the Stonewall riots happened; protests in 1969 in the USA that ended up changing gay rights for not only Americans, but people all around the world too.
Pride month brings people together to show how far LGBTQ+ rights have come, but also to highlight the work that is still to be done. It’s a time for colourful parades, and other fun events like marches and concerts.
In this blog, we wanted to highlight 5 fantastic Pride events that are happening across the UK this month:
This takes place at Southampton Market all day and is the perfect place to pick up some merchandise if you’re planning to attend a Pride event!

But, it’s more than just a stall – the stallholders are really friendly and offer advice and referrals too. Find out more on their Facebook Page.

Taking place at the BFI Southbank, this jukebox night celebrates 100 years of the brilliant Judy Garland – playing clips of some of the best-known hits from her career.
