Proud Fest 2026
Proud Fest 2026 was our biggest and most exciting yet – a celebration of love, community, and family fun at the Great Northern Warehouse. Hosted by the fabulous Aida H Dee and Sara Gosney-Hughes , the day featured unforgettable performances from Kyd Blu, Ghetto Fabulous, Cequin Circus, and Pop 'n' Olly, alongside creative workshops, colourful activities, and delicious food.
We were blown away by the incredible turnout — with over 4,000 individuals joining us throughout the day! Families, friends, and allies came together to enjoy music, crafts, games, and a warm atmosphere that truly showcased the spirit of our community.
