Gay Pride in Brighton 2005

It’s the UK’s biggest and best gay pride festival and it’s still a free event.

The annual event is held in Preston Park, the first Saturday in August, and attracts a crowd close to 100,000 people.

The day starts early with a camp and colourful parade that leaves the beach promenade (by the Pier) at 11am. Then winds its way through the city finishing at the park, this years float winner was RealBrighton.com.

As usual dominating the park this year was Wild Fruit’s massive dance tent, a fun fair, Revenge cabarate tent, Gaydar Radio stage, lesbian corner, sports arena, and a shopping village.

Later in the evening all the clubs were packed to capacity, we danced at the Ocean Rooms for a special Pride party called Carnival organised by Trade, Action and Coco Latte. There wasn’t an after hours party so we ended up at an illegal rave on the beach at Black Rock. A great finish to a fantastic day.
