Keighley Pride 2022 West Yorkshire

Info

Keighley Pride takes place on Saturday the 20th August 2022.

Keighley Pride aims to promote the LGBTQIA+ community in Airedale, Wharfedale and the Worth Valley, and the community’s friends and allies. It celebrates and encourages acceptance, tolerance, equality and diversity and seeks to increase awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues among the wider community and increase feelings of Pride among LGBTQIA+ people.

As well as the annual Pride Gala, Keighley Pride has run a series of awareness and wellbeing events throughout the year. In November the non-profit group organised a public meeting between LGBTQIA+ people and representatives of Keighley Town Council, the West Yorkshire mayor’s office, and West Yorkshire Police.
