Programme announced for Burnham-On-Sea’s Pride event on Saturday 27th July

The schedule for Burnham-On-Sea’s Pride event on Saturday 27th July has been announced this week.

The event – called Pride on Sea – returns for a second year and will kick off with a pride march from Highbridge Railway Station at 10:30am.

There are meeting points along the way at Apex Park and Bay View Cafe, with the final destination being The Manor Gardens.

Hosted by Helen Scott and headlined by Boot Hill All Stars, the event will take place in the Manor Gardens from 12pm to 6pm.

There will be performances from artists from the west of the country including Corky, Ryder Emcee, Steve M, On the Case and drag performances from Nicholas Hoare, Jolene Dover and Aida H Dee.

The family-friendly event also features a range of stalls, food stands, a children’s activity area and the Drag Queen Story Hour.

Festival Director Ruth Ackroyd said: “We’re delighted to be back in Burnham and Highbridge for our second annual Pride event. We’ve got an exciting line-up of acts taking to the stage, so it’s sure to be a day to remember.”

“It’s no secret that pride is about celebrating our differences and the things that bring us together.”

“But it is also a protest and we cannot forget the challenges our community still faces in an increasingly polarized world. That is why it is more important than ever to challenge and celebrate pride.”

“Come and see us on July 27th. Bring your family and friends, make a day of it, experience some amazing talent and rock out to Pride-tastic beats.”
