The first ever Poole Pride burst onto the scene in the most amazing way on Sat 8 June 2024. Our venue was truly a-buzz as we enjoyed a day of community, visibility, creativity and – of course – Pride.
“It exceeded all expectation.” shared our Head of Programming, Tim. “We said that if we could make a difference for even just one LGBTQ+ person to feel more seen, more valid, more welcomed, and more supported, then Poole Pride will have done its job – and from feedback received on the day and since, we have succeeded in that regard multiple times over.”
