Help us raise money for Hexham Punk Pride 2026 We need to raise £3,000 to cover artist fees

Hexham Pride is a free to attend event but it still costs money for insurance, sound, and artists. This year, we were kindly sponsored by Debbi's Doodles, @betrans.bsky.social , and SGWWM Ltd. - We also received support from a fundraiser held by The General Havelock, Haydon Bridge.

What an incredible evening with Grace Petrie last night at the Queen's Hall. Whether comedy or folk music, she has an incredible way of reminding us that we are human and inspires us to stand together and fight back against those who see us as anything less than people.

There is a lot of disinformation coming out of the USA just now around autism. Lost in the response to this disinformation is acknowledgement that autistic people are awesome!

Gay Men Visibility Day isn't an official day in the LGBTQIA+ calendar. It was created by us last year to remember Alan Turing's birthday (23 June) because of the absence of such a day in the diversity calendar. Hopefully, more people will adopt it because everyone deserves to be visible #hexhampride
