Come march with us!!

This will be our first year marching at Cheltenham Pride and honestly… it feels more important than ever.

The LGBTQ+ community is still facing so much hatred, fearmongering and having their rights chipped away at piece by piece, both here and across the world. Pride has always been a protest as much as a celebration, and we really believe showing up matters.

So we’ll be there. Loudly, proudly, and alongside our community 🏳️‍🌈💗

If you’d like to join us, meet us at the shop from 11AM on Saturday 16th May for hot drinks before we head over together at 11:30.

Whether you’re part of the community yourself or an ally, you are very welcome with us.
