Pride Breakfast

Join us for an all-ages family-friendly and accessible gathering at the City Arts Centre, just a short walk from the start of the Pride Edinburgh march. With warm breakfast treats and refreshments to welcome you, craft activities and entertainment to help us celebrate our Pride and get ready for the day. It is a space to connect, have fun, show support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and our planet!

We know not everyone is able to participate in the march on the day, but you still belong at Pride! So we hope you will join us and be part of Pride however feels right and accessible for you. For those planning to attend the march, our event will provide a nearby place to meet new and old marching friends and get ready to protest with pride together. Whether it’s your first or 27th Pride, the fight continues for our rights, for those who can’t be visible and to be unapologetically ourselves!

Our friends at Dynamic Earth will be hosting climate themed crafts throughout the event, so we can explore feelings around queer climate justice.

We look forward to welcoming you and your allies.

Anyone from the LGBTQ+ community in Edinburgh is welcome to join us.

We welcome the entire diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. This includes those who are questioning or exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The event is family-friendly and welcomes all ages.

Booking is limited and essential. We are expecting the event to be fully subscribed so if your availability changes please cancel your place via Eventbrite or by contacting [email protected] to allow somebody else to use the space. Please feel welcome to email Jules if you have any questions.
