Nottinghamshire Pride
Nottinghamshire Pride, also known as Notts Pride, is a registered charity in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. It organises an annual LGBTQ pride festival of the same name in the city of Nottingham, usually in July.
The first pride festival in Nottingham was held on Broad Street, in the Hockley area of the city, in 1997. It initially went by the name Pink Lace, a name it retained in 1998 and 1999, when Pink Lace was held at Nottingham Castle.
In the year 2000, the festival took the name Nottingham Pride and was held on the Victoria Embankment alongside the River Trent.
Two pride festivals, Nottingham Pride and Pink Lace, were planned in Nottingham in 2001, but neither were successful. No pride festival was laid on in Nottingham in 2002.
Nottingham Pride returned in 2003 at the Arboretum, where each subsequent Nottingham Pride festival took place until 2010, by which time the number of attendants had increased to a point where the park was no longer a suitable venue.
Nottingham Pride 2010 took place at the Forest Recreation Ground on 31 July. It was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Brian Grocock, and the event was headlined by the Cheeky Girls, with other acts including Kenelis, Lisa Scott-Lee, and Betty.[citation needed]
2,000 people attended the pride march from Old Market Square to the Forest Recreation Ground in 2012, framed as a celebration of the progress of gay rights. This preceded two days of speeches, music and entertainment, which at the time was expected to bring 30,000 people.
Nottinghamshire Pride celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2013, welcoming 14,000 attendees. In October that year, lost sponsors and a resultant lack of funds for the charity, which had fallen into £17,000 of debt, led to its volunteers voting to close it. At the time its events were costing £30,000 per year to run, with a suggested donation of £1 per attendee. At the 2013 event, only a third of the attendees donated money. Chairman Ben Holmes said it had been in financial trouble for the last three years, and that it had attempted to scale down the event to save money.
