Huge thanks to Valentine’s Tattoo Studio for holding a charity flash day in aid of Warwickshire Pride. Thanks to all the people who turned up to get a tattoo and the generosity of Valentine’s.

The site of tomorrow’s Pride Festival was vandalised and many of our decorations destroyed. If you have any rainbow themed bunting, flags, or any other decorations you could lend us, come down to the Pump Room Gardens at 8-9am Saturday 19th.

Temperatures are expected to reach a balmy 23°C. We hope you’ll join us outside for this Saturday’s March and Festival. Remember your sunscreen!

Every year we put up banners and posters in Leamington for the festival. Every year our banners and posters are damaged, vandalised, removed, ripped up, or have abuse written on them. We’ll keep replacing the banners and posters. All these actions do is highlight why Pride is still needed.

In the trans tent at Warwickshire Pride this Saturday we will welcome Peggy King, who is a voice coach specialising in working with trans people. Peggy will be giving a talk on voice coaching and will be available for a Q&A.

1 week to go until the 2023 Pride Festival & March. Entry is free!

The wonderful Tracy from POP Range has created eco-friendly Pride themed t-shirts and hoodies to support Warwickshire Pride. For every item purchased, a donation will be made to Warwickshire Pride.

This Saturday and Sunday we will have a stall at Art in the Park. Come and see us in Mill Gardens (across the river from Jephson Gardens) in Leamington Spa. Our team Dan, Chris, Penny, and Healey will be there with info on our festival and all the groups we run.
