Northern Pride presents Pride 23
Northern Pride Festival
Details
Festival goers who don’t want to miss out on this year’s main stage entertainment at Northern Pride can now buy their tickets in advance.
This year’s event – taking place at Newcastle’s Town Moor over the weekend of 22-23 July -will continue in the format of recent years with two distinct areas – The Festival Arena and The Community Village.
And due to spiralling costs and the continued after effects of the pandemic, this year will see a small charge introduced to enter The Festival Arena.
Northern Pride has remained the only event of its kind in the region not to have a charge attached, and while access to The Community Village remains free, this year organisers have introduced a small cost to access The Festival Arena, to ensure it can maintain its usual high standards across the entire festival.
THE FESTIVAL ARENA - TICKET ACCESS
In addition to the Main Stage - where the yet-to-be-revealed big name acts will perform -The Festival Arena will also feature the BeScene dance and cabaret zone, which will showcase performers from across Newcastle’s LGBTQIA+ scene.
The Festival Arena will have bars and food stalls, along with the funfair and access to the Platinum Bar and Garden – sponsored by Bobby’s Newcastle – for those who have bought tickets for the new and improved VIP space.
Tickets start from £6 for each day or £10 for a weekend pass.
Northern Pride will be working with its charity and not-for profit partners to gift tickets to their service users, with festival attendees having a ‘Pay it Forward’ option on the ticketing platform which will allow Northern Pride to donate additional free tickets to those who may be unable to purchase them.
Northern Pride is also encouraging local businesses to take advantage of partner opportunities which will also help donate extra tickets for charities and not for-profit partners.
THE COMMUNITY VILLAGE - FREE ACCESS
We have ensured that there are still free aspects to the event, which includes the return of the Community Village with its stand out feature, the Curious Arts stage.
Following on from its success last year, the Community Village will also bring back the sports and active life zone and the LGBT Northern Social Group will return to support those who may be attending Pride for the first time.
The Community Village will also see the return of the Family and Youth zone and the Health and Wellbeing area, which for the first time, will operate across the whole weekend.
The Rainbow Village and its market stalls has previously only run on the first day of Pride, however this time it will be open on both Saturday and Sunday, following requests from attendees at last year’s event.
WHAT IS PLATINUM?
Our festival attendees can choose to upgrade their experience by buying a pass into our NEW AND IMPROVED Platinum Bar and Garden.
Those with this exclusive pass can relax in a marquee with a private bar, tables, chairs and posh loos! Pass holders can head outside to the garden area which gives additional viewing with partitioned space in front of the main stage, providing an experience like no other.
WHAT IS PAY IT FORWARD?
Your contribution via this PAY IT FORWARD option, will mean we are able to add a free ticket to our allocation, which will be split equally across our charity and non for profit partners, who will then distribute these to their service users.
