House of the South presents - House of Pride

After the energy of the parade and the arena winds down, Canvas' venue transforms into a late-night house music experience soundtracked by the uplifting energy, feel-good grooves and inclusive dancefloor spirit House of the South has become known for across Bournemouth and the South Coast.

Rooted in house, techno and trance culture, House of the South is built around creating welcoming spaces where people can dance, connect and lose themselves in the music - "one night, one love, one dancefloor."

This isn't Pride as a marketing exercise. It's a community-first event raising money for two vital LGBTQ+ mental health and support charities: Space Youth Project and MindOut.

From Canvas General Manager, Dean:

"At Canvas, inclusivity isn't a marketing campaign - it's who we are every day. This July 11th, join us for a Pride celebration that puts the community first. We are skipping the corporate fees and donating directly to those who need it most: Space Youth Project and MindOut. Come for the music, stay for the cause."

Your ticket helps support:

Space Youth Project - supporting LGBTQ+ young people across Dorset through youth groups, support services and safe spaces.

MindOut - a mental health service run by and for LGBTQ+ people, providing support, advocacy and wellbeing services.
