Accessibility information
Leeds Pride is an outdoor event with the majority of the event space being hard surface highway or pavements. Some of this may be uneven or get wet in adverse conditions.
There will be a British Sign Language interpreter present on the Sainsbury’s Parade Stage and they will be located on the left as you look at the stage. Millennium Square has accessible toilet facilities on the site as well as also within the Leeds City Museum.
If you have any concerns about walking the route then please contact yorkshireandhumber@civilservice.lgbt in advance of the day.
Rules for the day
Be kind and speak to everyone with respect - follow our Standards of Behaviour.
If you’re planning on drinking alcohol after the parade, eat first and pace yourself as this will be a long event. The NHS One you - Drink Less App is perfect for keeping track on how much you’re drinking and spending.
Make sure that you bring along your own water bottle as near the market stalls in Lower Briggate there will be an opportunity for you to fill these up at the Yorkshire Water Bar and also make sure you have enough sunscreen with you. You should dress appropriately whilst taking part in the Civil Service group.
Apart from the start of the Parade there are no barriers along the route, so if you need to step out of the parade then please do so, but please be aware of any floats, vehicles and other people. The route does include a slight upward incline as it goes up the Headrow Towards Vicar Lane and then the downward incline on Vicar Lane, so please be aware of that and plan accordingly.
Please also remember to adhere to Civil Service Code and not promote any political messaging during the parade or do anything that might be perceived as jeopardising your impartiality.
*We hope you have an amazing pride
