Pride 2014 will be on Saturday, August 2. Brighton & Hove Council granted Landlord’s Consent last week to Brighton Pride Community Interest Company (BPCIC) to use Preston Park for the next three years.
With over 160,00 participants and spectators in the 2013 LGBTCommunity Parade and over 35,000 party goers at ‘Icons on the Park’, Brighton was the largest Pride festival in the UKin 2013. The main stage played host to stars and legends like Alison Moyet, MKS, Mz Dynamite and Paloma Faith, and plans are well under way to make 2014 even bigger and better.
Paul Kemp of Brighton Pride Community Interest Company said: “We hope to expand the programme of LGBT cultural events around Pride and explore new elements to maximise the use of the park event infrastructure by creating a weekend of fundraising activities.
These may include a comedy performance on the Friday and the possibility alternative use of the Park infrastructure on the Sunday afternoon.
Plans are very much in the exploratory stage & we intend to consult the community on any future plans, but it is our intention that any future developments would broaden the entertainment offering of Pride weekend to appeal to a greater cross-section of Brighton’s diverse communities.”
