**Walsall Pride 2023** returned for its second year in the **Arboretum Extension** over the bank holiday weekend, on **Saturday, August 26**. Celebrating its 11th year, after launching in 2012, the borough’s Pride featured a main stage (sponsored by the **Saddler Shopping Centre**), the **Lion Bar & Club Dance Tent**, and **Cabaret Marquee** (sponsored by **Poundland** and organised by the **Red Lion**). The event also featured stalls, information booths, food vans, two bars, and a dedicated photo booth for capturing Pride memories.

The mainstage boasted a line-up that included **Faye Bagley**, **Marcella Woods, Smashby, Kelly Wilde, Starstruck,** and more including the winner of *Pride’s Got Talent*. In the dance tent, visitors enjoyed music from DJs including; **Kate Meyher, Becki De Funk, Joe Hunt** and more. While the headliner for the Cabaret Stage, **Baga Chipz**, was proceeded by a line-up of talented drag performers including **Linda Matthews, Twiggy, Ebony Kruger, Tanya Hyde**, and more.

**Matthew Morris-Higgins**, of Walsall Pride’s organising team, told the *Express & Star*: “Walsall Pride continues to grow every year. It creates a space for the town to come together and celebrate diversity.”
