Chase Pride postponed until 2025 due to “financial difficulties”

Chase Pride has announced that their event for 2024 will be postponed until 2025. The event, which should have been held in Hednesford Park on Saturday, August 31, will be postponed until 2025 due to financial difficulties.

In a post on social media, Chase Pride organisers explained: “The current state of the UK’s economy, coupled with changes in Government legislation, have caused the costs of operating a festival like Chase Pride to rise significantly. At the same time, grants and corporate sponsorship, which cover approximately 50% of our festival operating costs, are proving difficult to secure.

“It is therefore with regret that we must postpone Chase Pride until 2025, so that we can focus on securing the funding needed to plan the festival with certainty.”

Those who have already booked tickets to the pride event are being advised to check their email inboxes for further details.

Chase Pride added: “We understand this may come as a disappointment, especially for those who have already bought tickets. Thank you for celebrating Chase Pride with us over the last two years, we look forwards to seeing you in 2025!”
