Tavi Pride needs essential funds for the 2026 festival event to go ahead.
Tavi Pride started in 2022 and since then has flourished into a fantastic annual celebration of our LGBTQIA+ community. We've been lucky to receive National Lottery Funding for four years in a row but unfortunately, we have not been successful this year which leaves the festival element of our event hanging in the balance.
Tavi Pride is run by a small team of volunteers who work throughout the year to plan the parade and festival. We rely on these volunteers along with donations, sponsorship and funding.
This vibrant festival showcases performers across three stages including live music, drag artists, circus performers, poets, dance, family entertainment and more.
The festival is a lifeline for our LGBTQIA+ community. It is a space where LGBTQIA+ people can unite and feel represented. They can get advice from LGBTQIA+ organisations and meet new people. The event creates connection, community and positivity and helps LGBTQIA+ people feel more visible as a community.
The festival also creates paid performance opportunities for LGBTQIA+ performers from a variety of genres, and is a space where LGBTQIA+ traders and organisations can come together to promote their businesses and services.
Since our first event in 2022, costs have risen significantly, making the overall budget around £15,000.
We have some funds to get us started but we need a minimum of £10,000 to enable us to cover the costs of putting on a festival of this scale.
Some of the things the money will cover:
- marquee & stage hire
- toilet hire
- generator hire
- first aid
- waste disposal
- fire safety
- licenses
- Insurance
- sound engineers and equipment
- performer fees
- decorations
- advertising
We need your help to reach our £10,000 target to enable our fantastic and vibrant community festival to go ahead in 2026.
