Scarborough Pride Event Gains Sponsor

Monday, 16 January 2023 11:00

By Matthew Pells

After more than a decade, Scarborough Pride is returning, with the support from Yorkshire Coast BID as the Main Sponsor.

Scarborough Pride will take place for the first time since 2011 at the end of September.

The Pride celebrations will include a parade through town to the Spa complex, which will feature an array of entertainment across the main stage in the Grand Hall and a family stage in the Sun Court as well as an array of music, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.

In addition to its role as Main Sponsor, Yorkshire Coast BID has also contributed towards Scarborough Pride’s range of peripheral events, which includes consultations with various age ranges to ensure the activities align with the needs and wants of the local community, as well as a youth board and a social event for older and isolated members of Scarborough’s LGBTQ+ community.

Kerry Carruthers, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Coast BID, commented:

“We’re delighted to be able to support with the return of Scarborough Pride. It’s incredibly important for us to get involved with activities that not only bring visitors to the local area, but also support the community in which we operate. There’s currently nothing like this happening on the Yorkshire coast, so we’re looking forward to celebrating with everyone in 2023.”

A big part of Scarborough Pride's peripheral events is to engage with the wider Scarborough community and beat loneliness whilst improving mental health, aiming to show locals that there is an open and welcoming LGBTQ+ community out there.
