Congleton Pride

We are Congleton Pride - we organise Congleton's very own LGBTQ+ Pride event in the summer plus a range of other projects around the year. 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 this year despite the rain! Keep an eye on this site and our Facebook group for more details of what's coming next, including our Christmas Party

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 we've been putting on a range of other things, 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...
