Stars from Blue and Ru Paul as well as a Little Mix tribute band will be joining the party when Durham Pride makes a vibrant return this weekend.
A rainbow of colours is set to brighten up the streets as the event, which - after the past two pandemic years promises to be back bigger and better - plays out this Saturday and Sunday with a programme featuring a Platinum Jubilee theme to celebrate the Queen's record-breaking 70-year reign. And with the weekender also marking the 50-year anniversary of London Pride, organisers say the occasion will be celebrating "120 years of the combined history of Fabulous Queens".
The rainbow motif and banners will on full display throughout the weekend and Saturday's programme - which will include the Little Mix tribute band - will be free to attend. On Sunday it will be tickets-only at The Sands in the city centre as Duncan James from Blue; Kitty Scott Claus from Ru Paul Drag Race UK; Alison Limerick - best known for nineties club anthem Where Love Lives - and The X Factor's Sam Atkinson will be performing on the main stage.
