East Coast Pride to return for second year

A Pride event is to return to Skegness for a second year, organisers have announced.

East Coast Pride was held in the resort for the first time last year.

A spokesperson said up to 3,000 people had attended the inaugural Pride event across five zones in the town and described the turnout as "amazing".

This year's event, which is run by a team of volunteers, is due to be held on 13 September at Tower Gardens.

"East Coast Pride embodies the pulse of inclusivity, and this year, we're thrilled to transform the Tower Gardens into a vibrant canvas of celebration," the spokesperson added.

"This event is a labour of love for all of our dedicated volunteers, and is a vibrant declaration of coming together and love, marking another significant step forward for equality on the East Coast."

Full details of the event would be released in the coming months, organisers added.
