We believe Pride should remain free both in cost and speech. We do not wish to create or contribute to any activity which would equate to “pink washing” (the promotion of the LGBT+ friendliness of a corporate or political entity in an attempt to downplay or soften aspects of it considered negative).
In order to make Porty Pride more accessible to those on a low income but still community-funded, we use a sliding scale ticket price for our events. You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances – you won’t be asked for any proof/ID. We just ask that you are honest!
TICKET PRICES
£25 - Solidarity ticket - I have expendable income and wish to help others attend Porty Pride events.

Porty Pride is a grassroots, community-led Pride. Our ethos is to provide an intergenerational, celebratory and educational Pride weekend. Porty Pride consists of events organised by local Portobello groups, businesses and residents. Contributing to the already unique and distinctive character of Portobello, Porty Pride aims to provide a place where all aspects of LGBTQ+ lives can be seen and celebrated.
