The town has been painted with rainbow colours in support of this year’s Furness Pride event. Covid-19 restrictions has forced Barrow’s second Furness Pride to be virtual once again this year, however, this hasn’t deterred an outpouring of support for the LGBTQ+ event. Drop Zone Youth Crew’s Furness Pride inaugural event took place last year following calls from the LGBTQ+ youth group for an annual event promoting pride inclusivity. The event, which was supposed to take place in Barrow town centre on Saturday, was ran virtually instead, with a host of fun-filled activities running online. Hayley Preston, Barrow Borough Councillor and lead member for equality, diversity and inclusion, praised the community support behind the event.
