After its debut success last year, Ouseburn Family Pride will be making a return this September for another day of celebration.
The inaugural event last year attracted crowds of around 4,000 people to the kick-back Ouseburn Valley area of Newcastle where once again venues including Seven Stories, the national centre for children's books; pubs and the local farm will be coming together to welcome visitors to the fun day. Taking place on September 18, the celebration of the LGBTQ+ community will be open to all and aimed at all ages.
It is organised by Northern Pride, following on from its huge UK Pride festival on the Town Moor in July, which has been working with local venues and charities to create a range of activities. Among the attractions on the programme will be live music and a family drag show at The Cluny; readings at Seven Stories for both young ones and teenagers of stories by local LGBTQ writers, and voguing - dance - workshops for teens.
