An Abba tribute act will headline this year’s festival with a range of acts and speakers, as well as food and drink stalls, and a variety of fun and games throughout the day.

Wakefield LGBT Pride director Joanne King said: “It’s is not about venues, it’s not about making profit for business’, it’s about celebrating our fabulous LGBT community out and proud in Wakefield.

“Join us for Wakefield’s largest free street party as hundreds of people of all genders, sexualities, races, nationalities, backgrounds and faiths come together on Sun Lane and Lower Warrengate for this mass celebration of diversity.”

The event will begin at noon.
