Nottinghamshire is set to host a second Pride this summer with the launch of Netherfield's first ever LGBT+ Pride celebration. The vibrant event will take place across the town centre on Saturday, August 20 from 11am until late.
The event will see live music, performers, drag artists and spoken word poetry performers take to the stage. There will also be evening performances including comedy and food on offer, with a chance for the community to connect.
Organisers, Sofornia Events, says the free event has been organised 'by our community for our community' and that 'everyone is welcome' to join the party. The aim is to celebrate diversity within Netherfield and beyond. Throughout the event, there will be fundraising taking place for Micro Rainbow which is a charity that deals with safe housing for LGBT+ asylum seekers and refugees.
