Want to host an event ?

We are delighted that Porty Pride continues to grow year-on-year as this demonstrates the continued need for diverse spaces and opportunities for people to meet and celebrate together. As a community pride which strives to be as intergenerational, intersectional and accessible as possible, we want to ensure this ethos is shared and promoted throughout all our events and to guarantee to the best of abilities people’s safety. As such, we now require events to sign-up to our terms of understanding in order to host an event under the Porty Pride banner. Please feel free to get in touch if you have additional questions: portypride@gmail.com
