Plymouth Pride 2022 Devon

Info

Plymouth Pride takes place over the weekend 13th/14th August 2022.

We want to hear everyone’s voices and give everyone a chance to bring to the Plymouth Pride Festival what they feel they need and what they would like to see being part of the event. So, with that in mind, we’ve been kindly invited by Plymouth Albion Rugby Club to bring the event to their grounds where we can use multiple spaces for multiple activities and have, for the first time, a two-day festival.

Pride in Plymouth is more than a single event – our team of volunteers work through the year on award winning events and projects that ‘Bring People Together’ strengthening our voice and ultimately improving the services and social scene for all LGBTQ+ people who live, visit, work or study in Plymouth. This includes supporting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees housed in Plymouth, working with other groups and organisations in the city that support us in building a healthy and cohesive community.
