This year’s Crawley Pride will place on August 16 in Goffs Park.

Now in its fifth year, Crawley Pride, which was created as a way of bringing LGBTQ+ communities together in Crawley and the surrounding areas, will bring together LGBTQ+ acts mixed with local artists, businesses and people to celebrate the town’s diversity in a safe and inclusive space.

All money made from Crawley Pride goes towards funding projects run by Crawley LGBT+ throughout the year and is run entirely by volunteers.

Councillor Sue Mullins, Cabinet member for Community Engagement and Culture, said: “There’s never been a more important time for us to come together and celebrate diversity, inclusivity and community spirit. It will be wonderful to see people from all walks of life sharing in the joy and unity that this event represents.”

Crawley Pride is currently welcoming applications for sponsorships, stall holders, volunteers, and local acts. If you would like to participate in the parade or any other aspect of the event, CLICK HERE
