Also in the Grand Hall there will be community and artisan stalls, and the bar will be open for snacks and drinks.

Upstairs in the Bridestones Suite you’ll find an interesting selection of arts and crafts to try – make something to take home for just £5. Includes The Creative Club (bead art), Needlessly Felted, Game of Throws Crochet.

From 7pm will be the free After Party with Claire Brocklebank as Madonna and Kylie, followed by the Pride disco with Ronan Clayton.

Founded in 2018, Congleton Pride was set up to promote equality, celebrate diversity, and build a stronger, more inclusive community. We held our first event in 2019 and have grown ever since – strengthening our links with local businesses, charities and churches.

We believe everyone should feel safe and accepted, whatever their gender or sexuality. That’s why we’re working year-round to make Congleton a place where LGBTQIA+ people feel welcome.
