'Pride isn’t over yet': Kelham Pride announces fundraiser film night to support 2027 Sheffield event
The big day may be over until next year, but “Pride isn’t over in Sheffield”.
Kelham Pride is throwing a fundraising film night to celebrate Pride in July and fund the 2027 party.
The LGBTQ+ event welcomed its biggest-ever crowd on June 20, with around 16,000 people attending this year's free festival in Kelham Island.
Organisers are now looking ahead to the 2027 event and is holding a movie screening to fund another day of free entertainment, live performances and community celebrations next year.
The film night, hosted at Peddler Warehouse on Thursday, July 16, will feature a screening of Matthew Warchus’ 2014 historical-comedy-drama ‘Pride’, based on the true story of LGBTQ+ activists helping families affected by the British miners’ strike in 1984, leading to the creation of the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign.
Attendees can expect a relaxed evening at Peddler Warehouse with seating, a giant LED screen, and music following the film.
Ady Jaques, lead fundraiser for Kelham Pride, said: "Kelham Pride has become such an important event for the city, bringing together an incredible community that celebrates inclusivity, creativity and support for one another. Every year, the festival grows, and we're excited to be looking ahead to making the next event even bigger and better.
"We'd love people to come along to our fantastic partner venue, Peddler Warehouse, enjoy a fantastic uplifting film and help support the future of Kelham Pride. It's set to be a brilliant evening, and everyone is welcome.
