The founder of Bristol Pride has thanked the 40,000 people who attended last weekend’s Pride Day celebrations. The event returned for its first full festival in two years, with record-breaking crowds on the Downs and the festival’s biggest ever line up of over 100 acts.
In addition to the events on the Downs, over 19,000 people joined the iconic Pride Parade march, which began in Castle Park and filled the city with colour. Bristol Pride founder Daryn Carter MBE, says plans are already underway for next year’s event.
“It's been an incredible year and it's been truly special to be able to bring the community back together once more. It’s been our biggest ever festival and everyone from the team, the performers and the venues have been so excited to have Pride back and to deliver the incredible event we know and love.
