Definitely our biggest, most enjoyable, and important event of the year! Not only are we celebrating Pride Month in a bold and colourful way, but we're also raising some much needed funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease.
About the event
This Pride Month, on Saturday the 7th of June, we will be setting off from the Lyric Square in Hammersmith for a scenic 10k walk along the river Thames, as we celebrate Pride Month by being present, visible, and showing solidarity for our community. Plus, we'll also be raising some much needed funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease.
The walk kicks off at 10am and should take no longer than two hours, and thereafter you'll be treated to an afternoon of delicious food, camp entertainment, and a whole lot of fun at the Black Lion in Hammersmith!
Those who joined us for the last two years will agree that it was definitely one of our best events, and this year promises to be even bigger and better with an expected 500 people taking part.
Tickets include entry into the walk and after party, a Progressive Pride Flag, a WLQP commemorative medal + a £5 food voucher for the Black Lion and a pint of larger or a soft drink.
