PRIDE LONDON When: 21 to 28 June 2015 Pride Parade Day: 27 June 2015 Theme: Heroes Where: Trafalgar Square, Soho, London How much: Free It’s your chance to be a hero, as Pride in London chooses LGBT heroes as the theme for what is one of the world’s biggest Pride celebrations. Last year saw more than 30,000 taking part in the Pride Parade, with another 750,000 joining in the party all over the capital. The Parade begins at 1pm and runs from Baker Street to Whitehall, via Piccadilly, Regent Street and Trafalgar Square. The main stage is in Trafalgar Square where some topname acts and speakers will be there to entertain you. It’s here you’ll also find the community stalls and food and drink sellers.

From Trafalgar Square head on over to Soho, and join the hundreds of thousands who will be bringing the streets to a standstill and partying way on into the night. Catch some top acts at the women’s stage on Dean Street, or if cabaret if more your thing, get on over to Wardour Street where some of the country’s best drag artistes will be performing throughout the day. And if that hasn’t worn you out remember that all the capital’s clubs will be celebrating until the early hours (and beyond!) making this one of the Prides you simply can’t afford to miss!

Pride in London is the capital’s biggest oneday event and, what’s more, it’s all free! Yet it doesn’t come cheap so, to keep it that way, don’t forget to give a suggested £3 donation to the bucket collectors on the day Go to: prideinlondon. org Tourist info: visitlondon. com Gay info: londongaycities. com
