Pride In Weston has been established since 2014 with its inaugural event in Grove Park reaching 900 attendees. After 8 years of growth and commitment from volunteers it provides a platform for the LGBTQ+ community, friends and family to be visible throughout North Somerset and beyond. The march through central Weston-super-Mare allows barriers to come down and for the community to engage. After a successful bid in October 2019, Pride in Weston were awarded to host UK Pride in 2023 with an emphasis on accessibility, education and inclusion. It is an honour to represent our community and raise the rainbow flag for the West of England.
