Drop Zone Youth Crew’s Furness Pride is back, bigger and better than ever!

The last two Furness Pride events have been done virtually due to covid restrictions and although they’ve been very successful, Pride is all about inclusion and bringing people together so it’s amazing that people can come along, in person and join in the celebrations.

Every year Furness Pride has a theme, and this year’s theme is community. There is so much happening across Barrow this Saturday, there is something for everyone to enjoy. From a parade through town, workshops in The Forum and Holiday Inn, storytelling in the library to fantastic live music, it’s a day packed full of colour, fun and love.

Here’s what’s happening where throughout Furness Pride 2022:
