The event, which was hailed a massive success last year, will see one or two tweaks in a bid to circumvent certain issues that were experienced on the day – plus the welcome addition of a parade.
Feedback from last year expressed a wish to hold a parade at Pride, and thanks to the team at Coastal Services East Yorkshire, this will be possible this year.

One criticism about last year’s event was that people couldn’t get back into the venue when they left the premises so this time around tickets that will guarantee entry every time people leave and can be purchased for £5 (go to tinyurl.com/5n7tkbwz).
However, if you don’t want to pay for a ticket, free ones will be available on the day directly from the Spa box office.
Yorkshire Coast BID will be the event’s main partner by sponsoring the event while Country Style Foods is backing the main stage again.

Donna Walker, co-chairperson at Bridlington Pride, said: “When we asked what you’d like to see at this year’s pride, the overwhelming response was a parade.
“Thanks to the Coastal Services team, we’ll be having the most colourful ‘Parade on the Prom‘ that Bridlington has ever seen! If your organisation/business would like to be a part, please email Stacey Mitchell at [email protected].
