Improved gate entry system promised for Pride 2014

Besi Besemar February 23, 2014

With extended opening hours the Pride festival in Preston Park promises to exceed last years success with over 40,000 people dancing, partying and celebrating Pride.

Pride 2014
Pride is unique because unlike many other festivals almost 30,000 people arrive at Preston Park in a very short period as the parade arrives at the park and this will always be a logistical headache.
To help address this issue Pride 2014 will operate a designated gate system (indicated on e tickets).
During peak entry times which are between 1pm and 3pm (when the Parade arrives) extra gate lanes are being opened, however  visitors may wish to arrive before or after peak times as there’s  still loads of time to enjoy the extended hours of entertainment.
This year Pride will also introduce an optional wristband pick-up option from Monday, July 28
from the Pride Welcome Centre above Charles Street Bar, Marine Parade BN2 1TA.
The Pride team have been listening to feedback and these are just a few of improvements being introduced to help make your Pride experience in 2014 even better.
