We believe Pride should remain free both in cost and speech. We do not wish to create or contribute to any activity which would equate to “pink washing” (the promotion of the LGBT+ friendliness of a corporate or political entity in an attempt to downplay or soften aspects of it considered negative).
In order to make Porty Pride more accessible to those on a low income but still community-funded, we use a sliding scale ticket price for our events. You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances – you won’t be asked for any proof/ID. We just ask that you are honest!
TICKET PRICES
£25 - Solidarity ticket - I have expendable income and wish to help others attend Porty Pride events.
£15 - I am comfortably able to meet all of my basic needs and have expendable income.
£10 - I am employed and have have some expendable income.
£5 - I may stress about meeting my basic needs and have no or very limited expendable income.
EXPENDABLE INCOME might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month, etc.
BASIC NEEDS include food, housing, clothing, and transportation.
Porty Pride is a grassroots, community-led Pride. Our ethos is to provide an intergenerational, celebratory and educational Pride weekend. Porty Pride consists of events organised by local Portobello groups, businesses and residents. Contributing to the already unique and distinctive character of Portobello, Porty Pride aims to provide a place where all aspects of LGBTQ+ lives can be seen and celebrated.

Mask wearing is supported and encouraged (and will not be challenged) and we will have masks available for anyone to use. We recommend all who attend Porty Pride to do a Lateral Flow Test before attending an event.
