A celebration of those who paved the way!
Before we could live proudly, love openly and celebrate freely, there were those who dared to challenge, fight, sacrifice and pave the way. On Sunday 9 May 2027 CampFruit Events brings in Pride season with QUEERLY BELOVED, a heartfelt, joyful and unapologetically queer tribute to the LGBTQIA+ trailblazers who shaped our lives and freedoms. From the pioneers and protesters to the mentors, motivators, role models and chosen families who inspired us along the way.
This festival follows the 2025 debut, “LGB with the T” which called for visible solidarity with the trans community and last year’s celebration of femininity as a powerful and unifying force across all identities, “Queens Forever”
“This event honours the people who shape us—and the qualities that hold us together,” says host and CampFruit founder Mark Ashton, also known on stage as Matron. “It’s about love, visibility, and showing up for each other—loudly, proudly and tunefully.
Join us for a celebration of the extraordinary people who made our extraordinary community possible
Their courage is our freedom. Their legacy is our future.
