Everyone is welcome as the city celebrates Preston's LGBTQ+ communities with live music, guest appearances, and a variety of information stands and stalls!

In previous years, Lancashire Police and the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service have been in attendance with custom Pride flag styled vehicles.

The parade also features cosplayers of various pop culture characters for you to get a photo opportunity with, so expect more this year!

Check out the Preston Pride's Got Talent event on 20 September to see some great performances before the main day.

Preston Pride is free to attend for everyone.

Ran by St Catherine's Hospice. An informal group where anyone can come and chat, have a brew, and talk to others about their loss, whether their loved one has died recently or some time ago. It runs from 10:00-11:30 am on the first Thursday of the month.

There’s no need to book, and if you would like to bring a friend along for a bit of support then please do.

It’s not a counselling group and there’s no set structure to it, but anyone who wishes to introduce themselves and tell their story is welcome to; or if you would prefer to sit and listen that’s fine too.
