Wrexham Pride, the first event of its kind in the city, will be a celebration of diversity and a space for people of all identities to come together and embrace love and inclusion. It will showcase the rich tapestry of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies in Wrecsam.
It is a family-friendly event and will feature:
- a colourful, inclusive and accessible march leaving Llwyn Isaf at 1.30
- following the march, a community space on Llwyn Isaf with local community organisation information stalls together with crafts and activities for children and young people. People will be encouraged to bring their own picnics to enjoy whilst being entertained by a variety of acts performing on the bandstand. There will also be a quiet space
- from 10am, a street market in Queen’s Square made up of local businesses offering food and drinks and a variety of arts and crafts all supporting and promoting the theme of diversity and inclusion
- after party events in a number of local establishments that will carry on late into the evening
Rachel Allen, part of the organising team, said, “The aim is to promote Wrecsam as an LGBTQIA+ friendly city and to show support and solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community. As well as the activities focussed on Llwyn Isaf and Queen’s Square, there will be a Pride Trail, supported by businesses around the city centre.”
