Ian 'H' Watkins is launching a Pride event in his home town of Cowbridge. The first-ever LGBT+ event in the town will be a week-long celebration that will consist of activities, art installations, education, talks and exhibitions for everyone to enjoy, with all of the money raised going to Cowbridge schools for LGBTQI+ resources.
Taking place from Monday, September 19 to Sunday, September 25, Cowbridge Pride will have a Gala Fundraiser, hosted by BBC’s Owain Wyn Evans, Tina Sparkle and Ian. While that event has sold out, others include a Pride disco at the Horse & Groom, a Pride Fashion Show at The Bear Hotel, A Pride Boozy Brunch at Bont Gin, and a LGBTQI+ Q&A at Cowbridge Town Hall, which are available to book.
On organising the event, the Steps singer, who has called Cowbridge his home for the past seven years, said: “The world has changed since I was growing up. I want my children to grow up celebrating diversity and representation. It’s important that Cowbridge reflects that.”
