Its About People & Bringing People Together

Sponsor Us

Sponsorship Opportunity header image

Pride events are a great example of community spirit through groups coming together to celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance.

Sponsoring and taking part in pride events is a fantastic way to showcase how much you value diversity and to allow your employees and customers to see you as an inclusive and friendly employer.

The main event on Plymouth Hoe offers one of the of the most visually stunning and photogenic Prides in the UK supporting Plymouth’s vision as a ‘Welcoming City’. The imagery and video footage from the day gets shared  far and wide via social networks, the event receives good coverage in the local press and even national publications.

We are looking for support from local businesses that would like to take part and a great way for employers and firms to show how much they value diversity and getting people to take part in a fun and lively family day out.

Suggested Areas you can sponsor:

  • Main Stage and entertainment – Very High Visability and most photographed
  • Arts & Craft marquee
