Warrington Pride is back on Saturday, June 14th, with a celebration championing equality, inclusion, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community.
This year’s event will spread across Warrington town centre, uniting local organisations, venues, and partners to deliver a packed programme from Time Square and Golden Square to Warrington Market and beyond.
The highlight of the day, the Pride parade, will kick off at Time Square and make its way through the town before concluding at Golden Square. Hundreds of participants including local charities, community groups, businesses, and allies are expected to join the colourful procession.
Andrea Morley, Project Manager at Warrington BID, said: “Warrington Pride has become such a powerful celebration in our town centre calendar. The parade is a real moment of togetherness and positivity, and the route from Time Square to Golden Square really reflects how much of the town is involved in making this happen.”
Time Square will once again host a full day of activity, with a main stage featuring live performances from local artists and visiting acts. This year’s line-up includes a headline performance from ‘Sweet Like Sabrina’ – a tribute to pop star Sabrina Carpenter – expected to start no earlier than 6.30pm. Programming is still being finalised, with the full schedule running until around 9pm.
Golden Square will also host a variety of celebrations throughout the day to complement the Pride festivities.
As well as live entertainment, the day will include workshops and community events hosted by the University of Chester, alongside a mix of stalls, information stands and activity throughout the town centre. Local organisation TAGS will also be on hand to share more about their 1-2-1 and group support services for LGBTQ+ young people, including Youth TAGS (11–17 years) and support for 17–24-year-olds.
The event is being supported by key partners including Warrington BID, Warrington Borough Council, Golden Square, Culture Warrington and the University of Chester. Warrington Pride is also working closely with Cheshire Police to help ensure the safety of everyone in attendance.
