Our Pride Festival

Welcome to Our Pride Festival

Our Pride Festival is a multi-day LGBTQIA+ events programme organised by Sister Shack CIC, dedicated to creating inclusive and safer spaces for the community. Since its inception in 2019, the festival has evolved from a single-day event into a vibrant celebration spanning multiple days and venues. In 2023, the festival expanded to five days of programming across six events in five different venues, highlighting the growing need for such spaces. The 2024 festival continued this tradition, offering four days of diverse events, thanks to the generous support of the community. This year we are focusing on all year round pride programming, but still wanted to continue “Our Pride Festival” to give an alternative offering to those who need/want it.

The festival aims to provide a platform for queer joy, creativity, and community, featuring a range of activities including workshops, live performances, a panel discussion, and family-friendly event programme. By focusing on alternative queer culture and collaboration with local artists and organisations, Our Pride Festival fosters a sense of belonging and celebration for all attendees.

As we look forward to future festivals, Our Pride remains committed to its mission of inclusivity, representation, and community empowerment.
