Organisers of the inaugural Workington Pride have announced with a “heavy heart” that this year’s event, which was due to take place on April 26, has been postponed.
In a statement released on Facebook, Workington Pride said: “Our team have been busy working away to resolve some of the background issues, but unfortunately this has been unsuccessful. As a result, we have found ourselves in a position where we are unable to go ahead as planned and will be postponing the event (although we hope to be able to confirm a new date for the event later this year).”
The first-ever Workington Pride, which was to be a “vibrant celebration of love, diversity, and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike”, was organised to shine a spotlight on queer and local talent across Cumbria, while also raising awareness about LGBTQ+ issues in the region.
Workington Pride added: “On behalf of the team at Workington Pride we’d like to thank you for your support and hope you will join us once a new date has been confirmed.”
