Warrington Pride is returning this summer and the organisers have revealed the headline acts.
Golden Square Shopping Centre will be taken over by a sea of rainbow come Saturday, June 8 as the town celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. Building on the success of last year, there will be an emphasis on diversity and community inclusion for the 2024 edition.
The event aims to bring the community together in the “spirit of acceptance and solidarity” and will feature a programme of activities. The festivities will be made up of live music, workshops, thought-provoking talks, performances and showcases. There will also be a parade through the streets of the town.

Guests will also be treated to performances by headline acts, RuPaul’s Drag Race winners Danny Beard, from Halewood, and Tia Kofi. They will both take to the stage to perform individually.
Andrea Morley, project manager for Warrington BID, said: "We couldn't be more excited to welcome Danny Beard and Tia Kofi to Warrington Pride 2024 and their performances are sure to elevate the celebration to new heights.
“This entire Pride event is a testament to our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity within our community, and we're proud to be part of such a vibrant and joyous occasion."
Also at the Pride Month event is a variety of vendors and community organisations providing resources and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies. TAGS (Teenagers, Gender & Sexuality), Warrington’s early help LGBTQ+ youth support service, will be on hand to offer a safe space for attendees to meet and socialise.
Ian Cox, Golden Square's Centre director, said: "We're bringing the glitter, the glam and all of the sass for Warrington Pride 2024. Danny Beard and Tia Kofi are ready to ‘werk it’, and we can't wait to see them perform. Get ready to paint the town rainbow and join us for the most fabulous party of the year.”
