Liverpool Pride is returning to the city centre once again this year, and now the team behind it has revealed the dates for 2019.

Under its new identity, Pride in Liverpool is confirmed to be returning to Tithebarn Street in the heart of the city’s Gay Quarter on Saturday, July 27.

The festival will kick off with several stages showing live entertainment, alongside a dedicated youth zone and a whole host of inclusive activities, stalls and food and drink vendors.

The fun is set to continue on Sunday, July 28 at a soon-to-be-revealed location in the city centre .

Festival goers are also invited to March with Pride along the traditional route from St George’s Hall before finishing at Moorfields.

Pride in Liverpool 2019 will be the first festival delivered by the recently-established LCR Pride Foundation.
