With Bristol all set to celebrate Pride this weekend, we have taken a look at what perks you can get if you’re attending any of the events - including free bus fares. While the day’s gigs are free, organisers have asked for those attending to pay a small amount that will go towards the Pride charity itself and the ability to make the beloved event happen.
On their website, organisers have explained why there is a need for donations from supporters. They said: “We firmly believe in making Pride accessible to all, not just those who can afford a high ticket price. But we need your support. Bristol Pride is a not-for-profit charity and every penny from our supporter wristbands goes to make Pride happen.”
For these reasons, those in charge of the event will be asking for a small donation of just £4 as people come through the gates on the Downs for the festival part of the day. The parade will remain a free event for all.
