The Leicestershire town of Loughborough is gearing up for a historic event as it prepares to host its first-ever official LGBTQ Pride celebration this month.

The landmark occasion, taking place on 17th August 2024, was “created by the community for the community,” organisers say.

The inaugural Loughborough Pride, organised by the team behind ‘OUT in Loughborough‘, a local LGBTQ social group, will kick off at 6pm and continue into the night. The event will transform four queer-friendly spaces around Wards End into Loughborough’s first ‘Queer Quarter’.

Attendees can look forward to an evening filled with free, live entertainment featuring some of the county’s biggest talents. The line-up includes singers, drag artists, lip-sync performers, dancers, and DJs.
