Hide AdLuke added: “Despite the renowned Brighton Pride being cancelled due to Covid-19, we still wanted to mark Pride Month 2021 with the glitz and glamour the event deserves. While Brighton & Hove residents will be doing their bit to celebrate the heroes in our community, for those looking for a venue, Rockwater Hove will be celebrating Pride with a series of fantastic activities and events.
“We are also thrilled to be partnering with Switchboard for the weekend’s festivities. As a Brighton & Hove based charity that has been listening to, supporting and connecting LGBTQ+ communities, the extravaganza at the HMS Rockwater will be the perfect opportunity to show our appreciation for the work they have done for a host of social causes."
