Thames Pride launch

Join us for the Thames Pride launch celebration.

Thames Pride is a festival for, and created by, the LGBTQ+ community of Lewisham and Greenwich. Over the coming months participants will be invited to work with a range of artists, writers and performers to help shape and deliver a grassroots Pride for 2024. We will be partnering with a number of local organisations including The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich University, Protein Dance and The Albany to help with capacity building and to build exciting new networks and collaborations.

You can find out more at our launch part at The Albany in Deptford on Friday 8 September, where we will be joined by Ian Elmslie, a stalwart of London's gay cabaret scene, and Abi Collins, who wowed the audience at our Sequin Sunday last year.

This will be an ideal opportunity to meet other SE London based creatives

They will be joined by up and coming performers including:
