The schedule for Burnham-On-Sea’s Pride event on Saturday 27th July has been announced this week.
The event – called Pride on Sea – is returning for a second year and will begin with a pride march from Highbridge Railway Station at 10:30am.
There will be joining points along the march at Apex Park and Bay View Cafe, finishing at The Manor Gardens.
Hosted by Helen Scott and headlined by Boot Hill All Stars, the event will run in the Manor Gardens from 12:00pm until 6:00pm.
It will include appearances by west country acts including Corky, Ryder Emcee, Steve M, On the Case and drag performances by Nicholas Hoare, Jolene Dover and Aida H Dee.
The family-friendly event will also play host to a range of stalls, food vendors, a kids activity area and the Drag Queen Story Hour.
Festival director Ruth Ackroyd says: “We’re thrilled to be back in Burnham and Highbridge for our second annual pride event. We have an exciting range of acts taking to the stage so it’s definitely going to be a day to remember.”
“It’s no secret that pride is all about celebrating our differences and the things that bring us together.”
“However, it’s also a protest and we must not forget the challenges our community continues to face in an ever more polarised world. This is why striking out and celebrating pride is more important now than ever before.”
“Come and join us on 27 July. Bring your family and friends, make a day of it, experience some amazing talent and get down to some Pride-tastic beats.”
