York Pride 2015 – come join us!

So York Pride 2015 is just around the metaphorical corner! This Saturday (20 June), thousands of people will descend upon Duncombe Place just outside York Minster at 11:30 as the parade sets off and makes its way through town, up Bishopthorpe Road and down to the Knavesmire for an afternoon full of entertainment from 13:00.

The theme of this year’s Pride is #RaiseYourRainbow #YorkCityOfRainbows for which individuals and organisations across York have been challenged to get their rainbow on. The parade through York should be wonderfully colourful thanks to the community’s overwhelming display of support!

We will be at the Knavesmire with a stall, where you can find out more about what we do and how you can get involved. We’ll also have a timeline to which you can contribute your own stories of being LGBT in York or other parts of York’s LGBT history. Oh, and there’ll be medieval gingerbread and star-pooping rainbow unicorn cookies.
