Over in Wales, Cardiff plays host to Pride Cymru, one of the biggest pride festivals in the UK, rivalling London and Manchester.

As long-term supporters of the event, the team from the New Theatre, will once again have a stall in the marketplace.

They use this opportunity to show their support to the LGBTQA+ community and tell them what the New Theatre Cardiff can offer as a venue and safe space for them to enjoy a variety of live entertainment.

And earlier this month, G Live was host venue for the launch of Pride in Surrey. The 2024 extravaganza takes place in Stoke Park on 21 September.

The launch event was attended by local and national organisations, councillors, groups and influencers. Pride in Surrey said it was great opportunity to network and to spread the word of the work they do.

The Pride in Surrey team thanked G Live for hosting the event, Cllr Julia McShane for speaking from Guildford Borough Council and their Patron Hazell Dean for announcing the Parade route this year.
