Fabulous! Pop-up Pride popping back again

Two people posing with a large inflatable rainbow pride frame reading "love is love" at an indoor Pride event. Both wear black t-shirts and pride-themed accessories including rainbow sunglasses and a rainbow fan. The venue is a pub or bar with wooden paneling and green wainscoting, decorated with Pride signage and rainbow decorations visible in the background.

Pop-up Pride Dorchester is back for its second year with a fabulous and packed programme.

The initiative, led by Dorchester Town Council, brings together events happening throughout Pride month in June, hosted by a range of local businesses and organisations.

Behind them are posters and event notices on the wall, including "Conscious Rhythms" and "Pop-Up in Dorchester" signage

Events include talks, films, music activities, a drag act, poetry, craft, an art exhibition, writing workshops, a walk and more! There’s even a couple of great trails to participate in. You can check out the full range of activities at Discover Dorchester, or on Facebook and Instagram by searching for Pop-Up Pride Dorchester.

This year the organisers have offered free posters saying ‘Everyone Welcome’ to any local businesses that would like to put them up. Some shops have also been given Pride Packs containing bunting, flags and more.
