At Vada, we are pleased to hear that some LGBT festivals and events are able to restart in the UK in a physical (rather than purely online) format, following the relevant Covid-19 safety guidelines. Bristol Pride Festival is the latest to have confirmed that their annual pride event is returning to the city and going ahead in person this year in 2021.

The festival is run by the charity Bristol Pride, who host events and activities year round to challenge homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and to promote equality and diversity. Their biggest event, Bristol Pride festival is being supported this year by headline sponsor Unite Student, the student accommodation provider.

Eve Russell, the Festival Director of Bristol Pride said “We are so excited to be working on delivering this year’s festival in person again and to be able to bring everyone back together to celebrate safely. It’s been an incredibly challenging year for everyone, and the LGBT+ community has been disproportionately affected, so it feels right that we create events that will focus on community, giving us all the chance to reconnect but also to be loud, proud and visible once more.”
