Congleton Pride 2021 is now over! We'd like to thank the many performers and market stall holders, our volunteers and sponsors, who have done so much to make this all come true... And of course, huge thanks to all of you who came along to celebrate Pride with us despite the rain! Keep an eye on this site and our Facebook group as we'll be posting more about everything that happened...
Our team chose to create Congleton Pride because we discovered that a lot of LGBTQ+ people in and around Congleton feel unsafe being themselves and expressing their sexual orientation / gender identity. Our hope has been to show everyone what the LGBTQ+ community is all about and give them a better understanding of it, in turn hopefully stopping any prejudice. We want all in Congleton to have Pride and feel safe here.
As well as our main Pride event in the summer we've been putting on a range of other things around the year, from Drag Night to an online pandemic-safe pub quiz and our pride flag themed maze game Prideworld! We recently conducted a survey about Congleton's LGBTQ+ community. If you'd like to suggest anything else we could do, or even join forces with us to help make those things happen, please get in touch or join one of our meetings...
