Pride in Belper 2023

Info

Belper Pride takes place on Saturday the 5th August 2023.

In the heart of Derbyshire, Pride in Belper seeks to bring the whole community together through a festival of diversity and visible events, that celebrate and normalise the LGBT+ community and our allies.
Built in the pillars of Sustainability, Accessibility, Inclusivity and Diversity, Pride in Belper seeks to level up equality and enjoy LGBT+ visibility throughout the town.

Parade
Begins on the Market Place at 12pm
This will be our third Pride in Belper Strutt! Our first, in 2019, exceeded all expectations. We had absolutely no idea what to expect, and then the crowds started to swell in the Market Place. As the parade snaked down King Street and back up again, it was estimated that there were around 2,000 people walking in support of our values. In 2022, we were told that over 11,000 people attended the event! Wow!
We will again gather in the Market Place from about 11am in good time for the parade to start at 12 noon.
The parade will be led by Beatwirks Samba Reggae Band and all you need to do is to be yourself and come join the fun.

Festival
Live Music on The Memorial Gardens and the Market Place from 12.30 - 7pm.

Fun Dog Show
Following the incredible success of the Pride in Belper Fun Dog Show in 2022, we are delighted that Boarderbridge will host another show on SUNDAY 6th August 2023.
From 2pm on The Memorial Gardens.
Just turn up on the day.

After parties will take place in various bars around the town - still to be confirmed.
