Rainbow crossing installed in city centre for Sheffield Pride

The semi-permanent design is on Pinstone Street. The Pride flag will also be raised at Sheffield Town Hall today as the city celebrates the lives of LGBTQ+ people.

Councillor Bob Johnson, Cabinet Member for Transport and Sustainability at Sheffield City Council, said: “As with so many events planned for this summer, it is unfortunately not possible to gather in person to celebrate Sheffield Pride this year, a festival that is usually a highlight of Sheffield’s social calendar.

"It’s important to us that we still mark this celebration, and so to compliment this year’s Digital Pride event we have installed a Pride crossing in the heart of Sheffield.

“I hope that everyone enjoys our vibrant addition to the city centre street scene and that you will join us in celebrating Sheffield’s LGBTQ+ community this weekend creatively and safely.”
