Eastbourne pride was the second ‘small ‘ pride that I have been to, the first one was Worthing pride the week before. I was surprised how good it was. The parade was a lot longer than I thought it would be, though not many predicaments.
The Festival in the park was very good and it was free (so a good donation was given) and had a very good mixed crowd. The beer was cheaper than Worthing pride were they changed £5 entry. There was a very good mixture of stalls. The entertainment on the stage was also very mixed along with a good speech from Peter Tatchell. The rain cleared up just in time which was a great bonus.
I will definitely go back next year
