Tomorrow: Nottinghamshire Pride
Sat 29 July City Centre
This year's event will begin with a visibility march at 11am (starting at the junction of Lister Gate and Castle Gate). The route heads through the city centre, with more than 7,000 LGBTQ+ people and allies taking part, and ends at Broad Street.
In the afternoon, educational stalls will weave their way through the streets of Hockley along George Street and Goosegate. You will find local grassroots community groups, charities, organisations and staff networks who offer services, support and information to LGBTQ+ people.
The celebrations continue throughout the day as a central stage is provided for a host of artists from Nottinghamshireâs LGBTQ+ community, from spoken word poets and musicians to drag artists.Â
Then enjoy afterparties at venues across the city, including Binks Yard, Bodega, Pryzm Nightclub, Revolution Hockley and loads more.
