TESTIMONIALS
"City Cruises is incredibly proud to be a sponsor of York Pride. Supporting diversity and inclusivity is at the heart of our values, and York Pride perfectly embodies these principles.
"We're thrilled to contribute to such a vibrant and positive event for the community. As the host of the York Pride Official Closing Party, we're always excited to provide a spectacular finale to a wonderful celebration."
Chloe Shefford, Regional Marketing & Events Executive, City Cruises
"York Pride is a true highlight in our family calendar. Joining the parade walking up to the Knavesmire, you feel so much support from the wider public - makes York feel so much more welcoming to LGBTQ+ people.
The main event at Knavesmire is just brilliant - we send an advance party to get a great spot for the main stage, and invite friends to join us for a picnic on the grass. And there is so much to do besides the entertainment, in a safe and friendly environment. We stay to the bitter end. The only thing we wish is that it lasted longer - we are not ready for the fun to end at 7pm.
Having been to many Prides this year, York is still my favourite - the fact that it is entirely free is amazing, yet the team still puts great acts on the stage. We are all happy to buy wristbands to support."
Jay Commins, Pyper PR
"York Rainbows is always hugely excited for York Pride and it tops our calendar every year. Where else can you enjoy a fairground, a huge stage, great food and drinks, all for free! Love it!"
Tara Gammon, Rainbows Ceramics
"I love taking my kids along to the York Pride Parade to support the LGBTQ+ Community in York... it's a rainbow filled positive celebration and shows them they can be who they are and whoever they want to be in our fantastic city. I'm really proud of how York celebrates with Pride!"
