Tickets will be available from the Swindon Pride website.
This year will see a headline performance from the mid-1990s boy band East 17. Most will remember the band from their UK Christmas number one, ‘Stay Another Day.’
In addition to the pop boy band, Veronica Green, from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has been confirmed to be attending. As well as appearing on Drag Race UK, Green has starred in many productions, such as ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat.’
Jo Sharpe, chairperson of Swindon & Pride said: “Swindon and Wiltshire Pride continues to be a free event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and is sure to be a fun-filled day of pride, rainbows and entertainment. The day will be one to remember with a family circus zone, shopping stalls and craft zone and so much more.
“None of this would be possible without our main sponsor, Nationwide Building Society, along with our other sponsors, our amazing volunteers, local artists and the hard work of the Swindon & Wiltshire Pride committee.”
Swindon & Wiltshire Pride said they have worked hard to make the event even more accessible this year. A Mobiloo (pop-up Changing Places Facility) will be available, with a hoist, adult-sized changing bench and all else expected of a fully accessible toilet.
The park is promised to be fully accessible with ramping to all areas. Swindon & Wiltshire Pride wish to point out that some areas can be uneven and due caution should be used. Parking zones along Quarry Road will be coned off for disabled parking. There will also be sign language interpreters for the main stage, sponsored by Arval.
Swindon & Wiltshire Pride will not be having its traditional parade this year. Contactless payments are encouraged and the organisation said that people with covid symptoms should stay at home.
