If you're at a loose end on Saturday 26th of June, why not head up to the Sheffield Pride being held in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield from 1pm to 7pm with free entry. Sheffield Pride is one of Yorkshire's biggest annual live music events aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. Last year's event was a huge success and was enjoyed by over 5500 members of Sheffield’s LGBT community.
It looks like there's lots lined up for the 2010 Pride, with live music, all kinds of stalls, places to dance, socialise and have a cuppa.
One thing in particular that we're excited about is the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender wedding fair being held in the ‘Irwin Mitchell Rainbow Weddings Tent’ organised by local wedding planner ‘Boho Weddings and Events’.
Here's what they have lined up for the event:
• Wedding suppliers exhibiting and offering demonstrations of their products and services.
• Goodie bags filled with civil partnership information and magazines.
• Live entertainment in the form of swing singer Chris Heathcote, dancing from Salwa Belly Dancers and DJing from Sheffield’s finest Rich Williams.
• A photo booth area for you to dress up and have your picture taken.
• Make-up and hair demonstrations from professional make-up artist Catherine Elizabeth
• A bridal fashion show showcasing all the latest wedding outfits from Mirage Couture and flowers from Orchis
• AND a couple getting married (well blessed…no way to get over the legal technicalities!) with a ceremony area set up for you to watch the happy couple get hitched!
Kelly from Boho Weddings and Events said; "This is a wedding fair with a difference with the full focus on Civil Partnerships, providing a fun yet informative day. There will be something for everyone!"
Sounds good to us! If you want to find out more and work out how to get there, go to either the Sheffield Pride site or check out the information on the Boho Weddings and Events site.
Have fun! And if you do go, let us know all about it!
Thanks so much for this great artical, it really is going to be a great day. Really looking forward to seeing Bella and Lorna have their blessing, just sorting out their outfits now. xxx
