York Pride 2014

York Pride logo

York Pride is fast approaching! York St John University is proud to be sponsoring this year’s event, which takes place on Saturday 21 June and “provides [a] platform for a celebration of the diversity of the LGBT community in [the] context of entertainment, inclusivity and fun”.

The LGBT Staff Network will be joining the parade and will also have a stall at the main event. We will be meeting at 11:45 at York Minster (Duncombe Place side) – everyone is welcome, LGBT or not! The parade will go through the city and out to the Knavesmire (Tadcaster Road end), where the main event will be held with a wide variety of stalls and entertainment from 13:00 till 19:00. For more information about the event, see the event page.

Can you help out with the stall? Please visit our Doodle poll as soon as possible and indicate your availability, and we’ll get back to you to confirm times, our location and contact details for the day. For more information, please contact Marije Davidson (m.davidson@yorksj.ac.uk) or Jo Thompson (j.thompson@yorksj.ac.uk).
