Celebrating the local LGBTQ+ community - with drag queens, musicians, charities, community groups, food and drink, and more. We hope you'll join us for the return of Stockport Pride at Stockport's Historic Market Place, with Charities, Community Groups, Crafts, Drag Acts, Musicians, Food and Drink.

Parade
We will be meeting from 11:30am on Sunday in Stockport town centre outside Red Rock, on the pedestrianised area of Bridgefield Street nearest the bicycle racks and the street level disabled car park.
At noon, we will be heading up Bridgefield Street, turn left across Suffragette Square, then we'll go across Prince's Street, up Arden Walk, through the glass doors into the covered section of Merseyway, turning left at WowComix through the centre of Merseyway, right onto Bridge Street, then up Bridge Street Brow, up to Stockport's Historic Market Place where we will join the Stockport Pride festivities. If Bridge Street Brow seems a bit steep, you can use the lift at Sports Direct, up to Stockport's Historic Market Place.
The parade will be for walkers, wheelchair users and mobility scooters only. Other vehicles will not be permitted.

Festival
Performing on the Martyn Hett Stage
With drag queens, musicians, a DJ and even a bit of cabaret, you can enjoy a variety of performances on Sunday 31st July 2022, from 11am to 6pm, on the Martyn Hett Stage in Castle Yard within Stockport's Historic Market Place.
The Vegan Queens will be on the Martyn Hett Stage throughout the day. The Mother and Daughter duo are as Northern as the lockdowns were long. Live singing, banter and FUN!
