To help you do so, we’ve come up with a range of activities, discussions and initiatives that you can host for participants to engage with, learn from and celebrate Pride.
PRIDE INSIDE, BANNER WORKSHOP
LGBTQ+ Banner Workshop hosted by an incredible artist. Participants will be provided with all the materials needed to create their banners with suggest messaging to use or they can use their own. Banners can be hung up in people’s windows to celebrate Pride Inside in lieu of a pride parade this year.

A live discussion hosted by Phyll Opoku-Gyimah in conversation with other team members of UK Black Pride whose aim is to foster, present and celebrate Black LGBTQ+ culture through education, the arts, cultural events and advocacy. Guests will hear how and why UK Black Pride started in 2014 and learn about the incredible activities they host throughout the year to raise funds for members of the Black LGBTQ+ community.
VIRTUAL DISCO FASHION AEROBICS CLASS
Inspired by the 70s fashion icon Grace Jones, this disco fashion aerobics class pays tribute to the mould-breaking androgynous model. Taking you back to the disco era when fashion icons, models and movie stars had Studio 54 as their headquarters. Guests will enjoy an exciting and fun fusion of roller skating, 70s dance moves, flamboyant outfits and disco beats that will have everyone laughing and on their feet!
