CI Pride to be accessible to all

Friday 06 September 2024


This year's Pride Parade will be accessible to everyone with the Petit Train offering rides through town to those with mobility issues.

The march itself starts at Candie Gardens from 16:00 with other events happening there before hand.

When those walking leave Candie Gardens, those with mobility issues will be able to ride to Market Square on the Petit Train instead.

When the parade arrives at Market Square there will be events arranged around the main stage, and alternative stage as well as the family friendly arena. 

Further accessibility considerations have been applied, with the Pride organisers arranging a 'quiet area' inside the Market halls.

They said that will be where attendees can pick up ear plugs and ear defenders. 

A BSL signer will also be on the main stage throughout the key events of the day that will include a wedding for the first time at CI Pride.

Anyone who needs assistance on the day should speak to someone with a pink high vis jacket on.
