Welcome to our Pride pages
Please use all our pull down menus (on a PC) to access pages of info about the local prides ... Bournemouth (July) Weymouth & Portland (July), Dorchester (end August), plus other Pride events.

Pride events are great to attend!
Some say it's your DUTY!
Join the party, celebrate who you are. Enjoy the company of guys just like you! Never been? Ask our guys about Pride... They are high lights of the year for many. We go as a group to the local pride events which helps make it more fun, and may save you some travel money too. Make a note of the dates now in your diary or on your phone to keep the dates free (most are same weekends every year). If you intend to visit one of the many bigger pride events in other parts of the UK (or world) in 2019, please let us know... some of our guys may wish to come with you! After issues like Orlando, many say prides are even more important to attend.

Photo on right was at Weymouth Carnival a few years ago with the Closet (Gay) Bar float.
