Free Pride event at Lighthouse Poole

Poole Pride will take place on Saturday 8 June at Lighthouse with an open invitation to come as you are and embrace a full day and night of inclusive entertainment.

Packed with performances and exhibitions in various venues throughout Lighthouse, there will also be free activities and entertainment in the Concert Hall, a stellar ticketed evening concert and after-show party. And Pride would not be complete without a special twist on classic cabaret. From comedy to music, and theatre to dance, all with a heavy helping of drag chaos, the Sherling Studio is the place to be for Life’s a Cabaret.

It’s all free to see and opens at 1pm with Outspoken, the Pride Slam with Bournemouth Poet Laureate Myriam San Marco, founder of the Word Makers & Silence Breakers collective. Presented in the slam format with two halves, it’s an hour of thought-provoking poetry and spoken word as community submissions go head-to-head to be crowned the most OutSpoken Voice of Poole Pride 2024.

There’s much more beside and all events are free to attend, but to avoid disappointment it is advisable to book tickets in advance in the usual way at www.lighthousepoole.co.uk or call 01202 280000.
