We are really proud to be producing the third year of Poole Pride, a celebration of the arts and creativity of our local LGBTQIA+ community while also offering space for reflection and conversation about on going struggles.
On Saturday 6 June, Poole Pride 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.
Poole Pride is open and inclusive so if you feel you have not had space in this event so far, we want to hear from you to tell is 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, more for information and interactive activities.
If you are interested in having a stall at Poole Pride on Saturday 6 June please fill out the form below.
