The Lincoln Pride Committee would like to thank everyone for their interest and positive responses to this year’s Lincoln Pride - it makes all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes very worth while indeed! Remember this is your Pride, we’ve listened to what you’ve had to say, acted upon your suggestions and comments and hope we are creating a Pride event you can all feel proud off!

Please find below a number of frequently asked questions which you might find useful.

What is Lincoln Pride?

Lincoln Pride is bringing Lincolnshire together to celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans community spirit - and you’re all invited! Lincoln Pride is taking place on Saturday 2^1st August 2010.

Who is Lincoln Pride aimed at?

Lincoln Pride is for everyone! There are no age restrictions to attend the Lincoln Pride event.

Are families welcome?

Yes, absolutely! Lincoln Pride has been programmed to appeal to families with an exciting line up of television stars on our main stage as well as a dedicated Family Zone.

How much does it cost to enter Lincoln Pride?

Lincoln Pride is absolutely FREE to enter! Thanks to our generous sponsors, The Lincoln Pride Committee has been able to keep the event free of charge.

How is Lincoln Pride 2010 being paid for?

Lincoln Pride 2010 is being paid for by money received from sponsors. This sponsorship is going towards all the day-time costs, including the hire of the venue, security, stewards, publicity and promotion. The Lincoln Pride Committee is working non-stop behind the scenes to secure additional sponsorship to put on an unforgettable live music programme (staging, performing artists, PA equipment. lighting, etc). Check out www.lincolnpride.co.uk for further information about the acts performing at this year’s Lincoln Pride and to see who our generous sponsors are.

What sort of things will I see at Lincoln Pride?

We have a fantastic line up of acts and artists performing on our main outdoor stage in the grounds of The Engine Shed. We also have a number of different community groups, organisations  and local and regional businesses represented. There will be drinks available and there will be a number of food vending vans selling refreshments.

I hear there is an Official Lincoln Pride After Party - where is this taking place and how much does it cost?

That is correct! The Official Lincoln Pride After Party details will be confirmed shortly.

I’m 17 year’s old, can I come to the Official Lincoln Pride After Party?

We’re really sorry - but due to UK licensing laws for the sale of alcohol the Official Lincoln Pride After Party is only for people aged 18 years and over. However we are working very closely with a youth organisation and local business with the aim of holding an ‘under 18s’ LGBT night in the near future - so watch this space!

Is Lincoln Pride a business?

No. Lincoln Pride is a non-profit making organisation. Lincoln Pride is run by a collective of enthusiastic, creative and friendly volunteers. Lincoln Pride became a constituted group in May 2009.  The Lincoln Pride Committee is made up of Officers and Committee Members.

What happens to all monies raised by the Lincoln Pride Committee?

The majority of the sponsorship monies received have already been allocated to costs associated with the Lincoln Pride event. Once all these costs have been met, any money received through fund raising, etc, will go directly towards funding Lincoln pride 2011 as well as supporting local LGBT community groups and/or events associated with Lincoln Pride.
