review

Hundreds headed over to Blackpool for what has become the unofficial start of the UK's Pride season... Blackpool Pride!

The great weather of the previous few days wasn't to last, unfortunately. A keen sea breeze and plenty of grizzly drizzle did its best to dampen the atmosphere, but failed as the party at the end of the pier got into full swing!

loved it!

Went to watch - ended up a volunteer!

about Federation

Federation never fails to satisfy with fantastic music, a seemingly endless supply of unfeasibly gorgeous oiled-up muscleboys, stiltwalkers, human puppets and fire-breathers... The question isn't whether or not to do Federation. It's whether you've got the next week off work!
