Pride Cymru, as it has come to be known, started off very differently. In 1985, Cardiff's first gay march took place and the city's first ever Mardi Gras in 1999. The event has gone from strength to strength over the years - moving from Cooper's field, the annual celebration now takes place on the City Lawns just outside the national museum and City Hall.
The event sees over 50,000 visitors flocking to the event over the course of the two days that make up Pride Cymru's Big Weekend. This year, post Covid-19, the event is back from its virtual years with a bang with some huge names sure to keep everyone entertained. Taking place on August 27 and 28, here is a breakdown of what to expect at Pride Cymru 2022.
