Woo Hoo (she says with tongue firmly in cheek - mainly 'cause I hate crowds of people, however fancy they're dressed!) Pride London is to whisk you all away for a fairytale adventure on Saturday 5 July 2008. Oooohhweeeee, Fairy tales, Myths and Legends is the theme of Pride London 2008.

The stages will be packed with an even bigger line up of celebrities, entertainments and politics, and with in excess of 500 000 people expected, this promises to be a truly star-studded, glittering affair.

Pride London is now in its fifth year as a registered charity, and continues to produce the UK’s largest annual LGBT event, drawing in crowds in excess of half a million people. Continuing to grow year on year, Pride London in 2008 promises to be one of our most visually spectacular, as the fairytales, myths and legends theme transforms London into a bursting display of colour and pride.

The Pride festival fortnight features a busy programme of entertainment; including theatre, music, comedy, sports, campaigning discussions and workshops. This culminates in the Parade on Saturday 05 July; one of the largest outdoor events in Europe and a highlight on the London calendar.

Fairytale floats will travel along some of the most famous streets in the world, including Oxford and Regent Streets, towards the main stage in Trafalgar Square. The main stage will mix entertainment and campaigning, whilst Leicester Square is taken over by some of the finest cabaret artists around. Soho will play host to the legendary party, as revellers take to the streets, bars and restaurants, as well as Soho Square, to enjoy the entertainments of the Women’s, BAME and Dance stages.

Behind our Fairytales, Myths and Legends theme lies the sad truth that Pride is in fact a fantasy for many LGBT people across the world. Pride London therefore campaigns on a number of issues throughout the year. Recently, Pride London twinned with Pride in Riga, highlighting the distance that the LGBT community must still travel in ensuring equality for all. Pride London has also worked recently alongside the Orange nightclub to raise awareness of the dangers of GHB use, as well as distributing safer-sex materials throughout central London.

Pride London is unique amongst the larger UK Prides in this active campaigning. As a registered charity, our work is enabled entirely by donations and sponsorship, and our events are organised and run solely by volunteers. You can help make a difference to the lives of LGBT people and support Pride London at the same time by donating at the bottom of this page.

We also encourage involvement from all areas of the community, so please visit our volunteering page for details of how you can get involved.
