Its About People & Bringing People Together

Plymouth Pride Festival 2016

Plymouth Gay Pride - Sat 13th August 2016

 

On 13th August 2016, Pride in Plymouth, with the support of our fantastic group of volunteers, returned to Plymouth Hoe for the third City Pride Event held in this iconic location, following on from two events held at Devonport Park. This 5th anniversary event was the largest pride so far.

The colourful Parade through the city centre was one of the largest the city has ever seen, and we anticipate further growth in both the Parade and Festival in 2017.

In 2016 we welcomed new corporate support from businesses including Plymouth City Bus and Nando’s both of which had a very visible presence on the parade and at the festival on Plymouth Hoe.

The FREE festival on the Hoe was delivered in partnership with event production company PL1 Events, who provided a stunning stage, with complete event support.

We welcomed further growth in our stall community with nearly 50 stalls at the main event on the Hoe.
