This year, Swindon & Wiltshire Pride is back and bigger than ever!
Taking place at Queens Park on Saturday 12th August will be a day of celebration, live music, and fun for the whole family, and best of all this event is free and open to all.
Get ready to groove to the catchy tunes of Eurovision stars Scooch, who will be performing their hit ‘Flying The Flag’ along with other chart-topping hits. Joining them is Nicki French, famous for her club version of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ and a favourite at UK Pride events.
Also, don’t miss the electrifying performance by Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK star Tia Kofi, who emerged as a fan favorite in Season Two of the reality competition. Local singer Jade Young will celebrate the iconic Shania Twain, while twin singing sensation Billy & Louie will enchant the audience with hits by George Michael and Abba.
If that is not enough, prepare to be amazed by the world champion beatboxer and multi-instrumentalist Bellatrix, as well as the hilarious Drag King comedian and singer Don One. The lineup is complete with performances by the Spotlight Choir and dancers from Lawn Manor Academy.
The live stage show will be hosted by the fabulous Drag Queen Miss Jam Tart, alongside local host Evie Em-Jay. They are thrilled to present a diverse live show featuring artists from our community, celebrating love, inclusion, and togetherness.
Working closely with South Swindon Parish Council to bring you this incredible event, Swindon Pride is once again proud to have Nationwide as the main event sponsor.
Event manager Paul Stewart expresses his excitement for the 15th year celebration: “We are thrilled to be back in Queen’s Park. We extend our gratitude to the volunteers, past and present committee members, sponsors, and local companies for their support in making Pride happen and keeping it free and inclusive. A special thank you to Jo Sharpe, who has led Swindon & Wiltshire Pride for most of our 15-year existence.”
