We were devastated when we had to make the decision not to have a physical Pride in 2020, due to Coid-19 and had to do a Virtual Pride instead.
In 2021 we are still unable to do our physical Pride in May, but we are hopeful to deliver some smaller events while still delivering the heart of Pride later in the year.
