Windsor will celebrate its first ever Pride Festival on July 26 with a Pride March to take place through the town centre.
The town will host the inaugural Windsor and Eton Pride, which, Chair Steve Harris says, will be a be a “festival of inclusion” where “disabilities, ethnicities and genders” would be celebrated.
He added he wanted the event to be somewhere everyone could come to and be “themselves”.
Speaking to Radio Berkshire, Mr Harris said accessibility would be an important part of the event, mainly taking place in Alexandra Gardens.
“It’s a lot more than just an LGBT event… two of our trustees suffer from MS so we’re designing a festival by disabled people and including them.”
He said the festival had been in development for two years and organisers were still hoping for more support from people and local businesses.
“We’re getting a lot of people behind it, ideally though we really need to push things,” said Mr Harris.
Windsor and Eton Pride’s website states the event will be a free event, but a ticket will still be required.
