Hundreds of LGBTQ+ people and allies marched through Bath‘s streets for the city’s first Pride event in August, holding placards and flags before joining a picnic with charity and music stalls at the Holburne Museum.
Those attending said the day felt “special” and “amazing”, adding that it was an important step for the city to have its own day of protest and celebration.
Claire Warner, from the organising committee, said: “It’s important Bath has a Pride to call its own and we’re so excited to have this first major historic event.”
Ms Warner continued: “We’ve not had one to call our own before, there have been smaller village Prides and one in Bristol.
“I’m not sure why it’s taken to now to have one, but it has really come together and it has just snowballed, like the whole community and the city have come together.
“It’s beautiful to see the city come together for this event.”
