Daryn Carter, CEO of Bristol Pride, said: “We are so excited to be able to hold the festival on The Downs again this year, last year was absolutely incredible, our biggest and best event to date and the feedback has been amazing.
“We were able to do so much more now we have more space and, after having The Downs confirmed, we’re really excited to start programming all elements of the festival and are already working on an incredible line up of names to perform at this year’s event.”
