This year’s Pride Caerffili event, which is set to be a day-long celebration, is taking place from 12pm to 7pm on Saturday, June 15.

Visitors can expect a family-friendly event, recognising and celebrating the contributions made by LGBTQ+ people in our society. On the day, there will be live entertainment and an iconic Pride Parade to celebrate.

The parade is due to set off from St Martin’s School, Caerphilly at 12pm, making its way down through the town, looping around the Twyn Car Park area, where it will finish.

It will be an amazing day of live music, entertainment, and celebration as we come together in support of our LGBTQ+ community in Caerphilly County Borough.

The event will be located in the Twyn Car Park, Caerphilly Town Centre, CF83 1JL, which will be packed full of food, drink and information stalls as well as the Pride Caerffili Entertainment Stage.

Last year’s inaugural Pride Caerffili was a huge success.

Speaking to Caerphilly Observer back then, the Sorrell family from Risca came to celebrate Pride together.

Joshua Sorrell, 15, explained why it was important.

Joshua said: “I think Pride events are nice because there’s so much awfulness going on in the world for queer people and especially trans people.

“It’s nice to see how many people are supportive especially to do with trans stuff because I’m trans.”

Organisers Caerphilly County Borough Council, is advising people who want to take part in the parade to arrive at St Martin’s School from 11am and no later than 11.45am.

There will be no car parking at the school for the parade.
