About the event:

The Cornwall Pride Bus Tour will have local entertainment, community organisations, local and national activists and the Biggest Pride Flag in the UK.

To achieve all of this in the safest way, the event will have registered volunteers, crew and entertainment who will join the team for the entire event.

Organisers say they have a robust safety plan, with a socially distanced system, alongside other measures that could be required, to ensure they have the highest standards.

“With even more acts, speakers, and many different activities including bringing our Cornwall Pride stage to some of the locations.

"This is our opportunity to come back together to live, laugh, celebrate & bring a very real stand in #solidarity for all marginalised people in our community and bring all communities together. Within our LGBTQ+ community and beyond. As we together share Cornwall Pride’s values.”

Chair of Cornwall Pride, Matthew Kenworthy Gomes
