THE full lineup for a festival celebrating inclusion is returning for its fifth edition and promises a bigger pride parade.

Furness Pride will add a splash of colour to Barrow town centre on May 25 with the parade starting at the town hall at 11am.

This is the fifth edition of the event and the third time it is being taken to the streets of town as in 2020 and 2021 the event took place online due to the pandemic.

Last year's theme was harmony and this year the event's theme will be education.

Cath Corkill, one of the organisers of the event, explained that the choice of education as this year's theme is to educate people about where pride has come from.

The event will be hosted by the local Drag Queen Nova.

This year two Pride festivals are scheduled across south Cumbria with Ulverston hosting its first event for the first time.

When asked about the growth of pride festivals in the community, Cath said: "It is really positive because the more we celebrate diversity and inclusion the area is a nicer place to live. 

"Furness Pride is all about inclusion, so it is for everybody. It encompasses the LGBTQ+ community but it is about everybody coming together. No matter who you are and where you are from."
