Pride is celebrated annually in June and with the growing number of homophobic attacks in Ireland including the incident in Meath on a teenager in recent weeks it’s thought it’s particularly important this year.
There is a book signing at The Bookworm shop of ‘The Gay Bible’ by Sinead Huggins Young at 2pm, followed by a dance class at 3pm.
The main event is at 7pm in Barretts Coachyard Inn where a variety of events will be happening but full details are available online.
