Management at a distillery have stepped up to sponsor the first official Pride celebration in the west Leicestershire town of Hinckley.
The town’s Bond Street Distillery is supporting the celebration of the local LGBTQ+ community, which will feature artists, tribute acts, drag queens and more when it takes place in Hollycroft Park on July 15. The Hinckley Pride not-for-profit community organisation was set up to promote equality and diversity in the Hinckley and Bosworth borough, and the Pride day is being billed as an opportunity for people to gather in “activism, protest, celebration, and advocacy”.
Daniel Hope, the chairperson for Hinckley Pride, said “The partnership with Bond Street Distillery isn’t just about this event, we wanted a partner that would grow with us, support what we were trying to achieve now and in years to come.
