May celebration of diversity

The date of Exeter's Pride celebration has been set for the spring.

Organisers have set aside Saturday 13 May for the event, which is one of the south west's biggest celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community, and one of the biggest free Pride days in the country.

They says it has is a key annual event in Exeter's calendar and they have exciting plans for this year, following a triumphant comeback in 2022 following a two-year break during the pandemic.

The day starts with a march through Exeter, leading into the day festival where there will be live music, information and advice from local, national and international organisations, as well as demonstrations and fun activities.

Tamsin Scott, chair of Exeter Pride’s committee, said: “We’re so grateful to everybody who joined us for our big comeback last year, and bowled over by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community, including a lot of people attending for the first time!”
