One of the most famous Pride events in the world has been cancelled, organisers have announced. The annual Brighton Pride that sees thousands of people flock to the city has been scrapped for the second year in a row. In a statement posted online, organisers said they are heartbroken to cancel the popular event due to the uncertainty over mass gatherings. Last year, coronavirus restrictions meant the event to mark the landmark 30th anniversary was cancelled “with a heavy heart”. The celebrations were due to take place this year on August 7 and August 8. We are heartbroken to have to announce the cancellation of Brighton & Hove Pride’s Community Parade, Pride Village Party and Pride Festival on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th August 2021.
