The event will feature community-focused stalls providing information from local organisations and the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) services they offer, as well as health/wellbeing and family zones. There will also be a main stage with music. Acts, including Northumbrian artists and ‘a few well known names’, will be announced soon.

In the build-up to the festival, a fund-raiser is being held at Alnwick Town Hall this Saturday from 10am to 1pm. Entry is £1, including refreshments. There will be a raffle, tombola and children’s tombola.
