Between football finals, the Grand National and bank holiday weekends, Liverpool knows how to throw a party and this weekend will be no different.
On Saturday, July 30, thousands will come to the city to celebrate Pride after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The event is set to be filled with music, laughter and dance and while it may be a dream come true for clubs to be packed wall-to-wall for party-goers, the night isn’t always so fun when you’re on the other side of the bar.
The ECHO spoke with Heaven Liverpool to find out what it is really like to work the “busiest” day and night of the year for LGBTQ+ venues. Andrew Gilman, the club’s assistant general manager, has been working Pride weekend for three years now. He said the key to it is to “make sure to get good sleep between shifts and make the most of your break".
