We are really proud to be producing the 3rd year of Poole Pride. Poole Pride has always aimed to offer a celebration of the arts and creativity of our local LGBTQIA+ community while also offering space for reflection and conversation about on going struggles.
In its third year it will be returning with stalls, cabaret, storytelling and many other events that have been popular over the last couple of years. This year we are opening out spaces in the event for groups and artists who we have not yet connected with. This event is open and inclusive so if you felt like you have not had space in this event so far we want to hear from you and how you feel you can contribute.
We are looking for:
Stalls – we have a long list of strong local collaborators who bring their stalls to Poole Pride to show what they have to offer the LGBTQIA+ community in Poole and the surrounding area.
We do not charge for stalls but we are looking for charities and community groups who have a specific message to share with the Poole Pride community. Stalls are not designed for selling but more for information and interactive activities.
If you are interested in having a stall at Poole Pride Sat 6 June. Please fill out the form below.
