In the summer of 2015 Brighton & Hove came together for a truly unique event, that saw community groups, businesses and individuals united by sport, regardless of sexuality, race, age or ability.
Pride Diversity Games are a citywide celebration reflecting the wonderful diversity of Brighton and Hove giving people of all shapes and sizes the opportunity to hop, skip and jump together in a variety of inclusive and fun sporting events while fundraising for the Rainbow Fund, who give grants to local LGBT organisations providing effective front line services to LGBT people in Brighton and Hove.
The Games are a partnership between Brighton Pride CIC in association with BLAGSS, TransCanSport, Sussex County FA, Sussex Cricket and will be staged over the weekend of Friday July 22 to Sunday July 24.
Sports events already confirmed for this year include football, golf, rugby, tennis, cricket and of course the Rainbow Run, as well as non-competitive sporting events such as yoga, Petanque, tennis for beginners, Pilates and walking.
Access to sports venues such as squash courts, badminton courts and basketball courts are also being made available at low prices for this special weekend.
Up to 1,000 participants and 500 visitors from all over the UK and Europe are expected to take part in the Games at venues including Sussex University Sports Complex, Hollingbury Golf Course, Preston Park and Hove Park.
