After the hard work and effort of our volunteers and contractors to try and keep the site open, we were devastated to have to close the festival site on Sunday 23rd July at 14:45.
Our key principles of Protect, Promote, Provide are at the forefront of everything we do. In order to stick to this and keep our community safe, we really had no other choice. Read our full statement here:
https://www.northern-pride.com/post/northern-pride-2023-closed We understand that many in our community will be incredibly disappointed that they missed out on the fantastic Sunday we had planned, especially after such a successful Saturday. It takes over 10 months of planning and organising to deliver the festival, and to raise the funds required through grants, sponsorships and through ticket sales. Due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic, the cost of living crisis and the spiralling costs for outdoor events. We introduced a small charge to the Festival Arena and we were overwhelmed by the support from our community and incredibly grateful to those that bought a ticket or donated.
All those impacted by the closure will automatically have their ticket rolled over to next year and receive a ticket for Sunday 21st July 2024.
We'd like to take this opotunity to thank you for your support, understanding and compassion.
As a voluntary led charity, we appreciate any support you can provide in helping us recover from the cancellation, to allow us to come back next year and deliver a Pride we all were hoping for this year.
For any further information, support or to request a refund, please email info@npride.org.uk by no later than 31st August 2023.
I found it really interesting that Newcastle Pride 2026 is embracing a community-led vision, especially how they’re involving local voices in shaping the theme and activities. It makes me wonder how much of a difference it makes when events are co-created with the community rather than just organized top-down, and how that impacts engagement and inclusivity.
Reading this also made me think about how structuring input and feedback clearly can make any collaborative effort more effective. Whether planning an event or tackling assignments with guidance from something like Online Assignment Help Leeds, having a way to organize ideas and ensure everyone’s perspective is considered can really help turn complex projects into something manageable and meaningful.
This was a very thoughtful and engaging post. I really enjoyed how the author described everyday experiences with such clarity and reflection. It reminds readers that even simple moments can carry meaningful lessons. As a student, I often read blogs like this during study breaks to refresh my mind. Sometimes while managing deadlines, I also explore options to find the best assignment help website that can guide me through difficult topics. Posts like this not only inspire reflection but also encourage students to stay focused, balanced, and motivated in their learning journey.
