In 2008 the fifth annual Bourne Free Pride Festival will be taking over the seaside resort of Bournemouth for 3 days, from Friday 11th until Sunday 13th of July!

 

The event is a colourful celebration of all diversities that live in the area and the constant strive towards universal equality for all – through entertainment and awareness.

 

Last year the event attracted thousands of people from across the UK, so for 2008 it has been extended across an entire weekend with more going on than ever before.

 

STREET PARTY
This year the massive Street Party in The Triangle is being extended from 5pm through to 11pm on Saturday 12th July (over 18's only). There will be a larger stage with entertainment, a massive beer tent, VIP area and a range of market stalls. Entry to the Street Party, and all of the town's gay venues over the weekend, will require a Bourne Free Wristband. These are available in advance for £5 from www.bournefree.co.uk and also on the day for £10, they are limited so it is advisable to get them early.
