From noon to 4pm on Saturday, June 8, The World of Glass will host the free family-friendly event and promises an array of activities ranging from entertainment and craft sessions to educational market stalls.
It is set to offer a dynamic environment where the community can come together in support of LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
Hosted in The World of Glass, The Marketplace will host a variety of stalls where attendees can access information, freebies, and support related to health and wellbeing.
This year's event is especially focused on educational outreach, aiming to provide valuable resources to the community.
When it comes to entertainment, the day will feature live performances programmed by MD Productions including dancers, singers, and DJs in The World of Glass garden.
There will also be fun activities like treasure hunts and story times for children delivered by St Helens Library Service, who will also deliver crafts funded by St Helens Arts in Libraries.
Emma Cuerden, Health Improvement Practitioner LGBT & HIV at St Helens Integrated Sexual Health Service added: “I’m excited to be part of St Helens Pride. As an LGBT+ ally and coordinator for the LGBT+ group ‘Over the Rainbow’, which offers support for both young people and parents, I know the importance of coming together to celebrate and embrace the towns diversity.”
St. Helens Pride is an opportunity for everyone to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community while enjoying a day filled with joy, entertainment, and education. Remember to mark your calendars and bring your family and friends to The World of Glass on June 8 for a day to remember.
