Britain's most easterly Pride event will take centre stage in a prominent park later this year.

Lowestoft Town Council will be hosting Lowestoft Pride in Sparrows Nest Gardens on Saturday, August 5.

A town council spokesman said: "Our aim is to make this Pride event enjoyable for everyone with a family-friendly feel to the day.

"To make the event as open and inclusive as possible, we are asking performers to get in touch.

"Whether you're a musician, a poet or a dance group, we want to hear from you."

With "further details" about the event to be made available soon, town councillor Sonia Barker said on the town council's Facebook page: "As chair of the LTC events and comms sub committee I’m really pleased to see this come to fruition after the committee agreed to go forward with a Lowestoft Pride event on August 5 2023 - save the date."
