Join us at Hoxton Hall for ParaPride's annual event for LGBTQ+ History Month 2025.
ParaPride will be marking history by presenting an incredible event in celebration of the powerful disabled community.
A spectacular line-up of talented acts will entertain you throughout the day, from comedy sensations, acrobatic performances, drag royalties, teasing burlesque dancers and more. We proudly showcase disability talent, therefore all our performers identify and reflect in our community.
We will host a new ‘Dis-section’ panel discussion: 'The Naked Truth about Disability & Sexuality' with special guest speakers and interactive Q&A.
A spacious community networking area will be available for everyone to socialise and connect, and engage with local partner organisations, share information and have fun. Two Bars will be available with drinks and snacks for purchase.
ParaPride is committed to creating inclusive, accessible and enjoyable events in safe environments for the disabled LGBTQ+ community, as well as for our friends and supporters.
BSL interpreters will be provided throughout the event. The ground level is accessible and has step-free access. There will be a Quiet space available to take some time-out from time to time. Lift access to all levels and accessible toilets available.
We strongly believe that LGBTQ+ History should be remembered and championed all year round. February opens up new opportunities to learn, educate, raise awareness and give visibility to the marginalised and underrepresented LGBTQ+ intersectional communities.
We look forward to welcoming you to this memorable event. We want every LGBTQ+ disabled person to feel pride in who they are.
