On **Saturday, August 27**, **Walsall Pride** celebrated their tenth anniversary pride event, after it was delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. For the first time, the event was held in the arboretum rather than the town centre, allowing the community to celebrate Pride in a public space.

The line-up which was spread across three spaces – the main stage, dance area, and cabaret tent – included; **Urban Cookie Collective**, **S Club 7**’s **Jo O’Meara**, **Linda Matthews**, **Twiggy**, **Jay Devour**, **Joe Hunt** and many more.

The event saw just under 3,000 people coming through the gates and **Matthew Morris-Higgins**, working as part of the organising committee, told the *Express and Star*: “Walsall Pride continues to grow every year and it has always been our aim to move to the **Arboretum Extension** and now in its 10th year, we felt it was the right time to make the event even bigger… It creates a space for the town to come together and celebrate diversity.”
