PRIDE in Prescot 2025

Pride in Prescot is a new community-led event developed by Sahir to empower LGBTQ+ people and allies across Knowsley to mark Pride in a way that is authentic, inclusive, and meaningful.

With a particular focus on LGBTQ+ adults – especially those who may be marginalised, socially isolated, or less connected to traditional Pride spaces – the event creates space for connection, creativity, and visibility.

Taking place in the heart of Prescot, this grassroots day of activity will complement and collaborate with the larger and more established Knowsley Pride – working in harmony to create a Pride Festival in Knowsley that spans several dates and locations, each with its own focus and audience.

Purpose & Values

Pride in Prescot offers a space where LGBTQ+ adults, particularly those who may not feel connected to larger or more mainstream Pride events, can gather, celebrate, and feel seen. The event welcomes allies and recognises the power of community in creating safer, stronger and more inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ people can thrive.
