In 2019 Young people from our LGBTQ+ youth group visited Liverpool Pride and had a great time watching the Parade and acts all in the name of inclusion. When they returned they asked why Furness didn't have a similar event so Furness Pride was developed. In 2020 and 2021 our events had to be virtual due to Covid however 2022 will be a family friendly event in Barrow town centre on May 14th 12-6. We will have various acts, educational workshops, performances and a mini pride to enable people from the LGBTQ+ community and allies to celebrate inclusivity. A huge thank you to the PRIDE steering group and the many organisations and individuals for helping us to make this happen.

A big thank you also to our venues, The FORUM, The Holiday Inn Express and the ODD FROG who hosted our PRIDE after party. And to the local businesses and stallholders of Barrow Market for supporting the parade.
