Press Release - Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In line with Government Guidelines we are cancelling social meetings and activities such as our bi-weekly coffee group eXpresso Yourself and the Make for Pride workshops. We will reschedule the ‘LGBTQ Mental Health workshop’ due to take place on Sat 18th April to a later date in the year. We will also delay the roll out of our LGBTQ literature project announced in February. We are currently still working towards holding the event on Saturday 8th August 2020. However we are having discussions with the council and other partner organisations regarding a contingency date later in the summer should we have to postpone.

Welcome to Pride in Plymouth

Pride in Plymouth is a non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that brings people and groups together to celebrate, promote the diversity and talent that exist within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) communities in Plymouth.

Together we can work towards eliminating the discrimination and social isolation many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) people in Plymouth and surrounding area face.

Pride in Plymouth is more than a single event – our team of volunteers work through the year on award winning events and projects that ‘Bring People Together’ strengthening our voice and ultimately improving the services and social scene for all LGBTQ+ people who live, visit, work or study in Plymouth. This includes supporting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees housed in Plymouth, working with other groups and organisations in the city that support us in building a healthy and cohesive community.

Mayflower 400 (2020)

The year 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the historic voyage of the Mayflower ship from the UK to the ‘New World’ of America. It is also the 50th anniversary of the first ‘Gay Rights Marches’ held in New York and London in 1970.

With support of a grant from the Mayflower 400 Culture Fund Pride in Plymouth will be delivering an additional programme of events to support the themes of Mayflower 400 – migration, tolerance, freedom and democracy. Celebrating the freedoms gained over the last 50 years for LGBT+ people.

The main Plymouth Pride Festival and Parade will take place on Saturday 8th August 2020.

Plymouth LGBT Community Archive

Pride in Plymouth are proud to support the ongoing work of the our city's own award winning LGBT community archive.

Since it's conception in 2012 the Archive has continued to grow and the resource is now invaluable in supporting or work in schools, colleges and the wider community.

The project has inspired other oral history projects in the city.
