Russell and Russell Sponsors Bolton Pride 2017 in Support of LGBT Community

29/09/2017

Once again, Russell and Russell is sponsoring Bolton Pride. The event, which shows support for diversity and celebrates the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender (LGBT) community, will take place from today until Monday. The weekend promises lots of activities, starting with a candle lit vigil from the Town Hall to Market Place, marking the official rainbow lights switch on. This will be followed by an LGBT film night at the Light Cinema in Bolton from 8pm.

The Diversity Carnival parade will take place from Queens Park on tomorrow morning at 11.00am, ending in Victoria Square where a huge party will be staged. Acts include Stooshie, BGT’s Olivia Archbold and The Voice’s Joe Keegan. There will also be an open air bar to help quench your thirst after all that dancing. In the evening, The Venue is hosting a Back to the 90s night, featuring multi-million selling, award winning, Brit nominated house music duo, Phats & Small.

On Sunday, Russell and Russell will have a stall in Victoria Square form 11.00am until 5.00pm. The event will include many other market stalls, service providers, games, ice creams, popcorn, candy floss and much, much more. On Monday 2nd October, Kerry Ellis flies into Bolton to star in Voices & Lyrics at Octagon Theatre Bolton, for the official closing event.

Having enjoyed a huge turnout in previous years, Bolton Pride has earned its stripes as one of the highlights of the town’s social calendar. The event is free and promises to be a fun day for all to enjoy.

As a firm that’s committed to equality, we’re delighted to be sponsoring the event again this year. To find out what else is going on, download the guide here. See you there!
