Congleton Pride

Congleton's LGBTQ+ Pride is done and dusted for another year! We'd like to thank everyone who helped to make it happen - our volunteers and sponsors, the many acts who wowed us with their stage magic all day and night, our guest speakers, and the market stall holders and fairground. Especially we thank you the public for coming to enjoy yourselves and making this event the celebration of our community that it was meant to be!

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 over the last three years, from Christmas and St. Patrick's Day parties 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 join forces with us to help make those things happen, please get in touch or join one of our meetings...
