The North East’s LGBTQ+ young people can celebrate the spooky season in style, thanks to the return of a popular event.
Northern Pride’s Youth Prom will take place on Thursday 28 October, at Newcastle’s Crowne Plaza – which is also sponsoring the event – from 7pm to 10pm.

Along with popular DJ Michael Maddison providing the soundtrack for the party and a buffet, young people can also enjoy a variety of performances from Drag Castle.

We have revealed a spooky new look for the return of one of our most popular events later this month (October).
Northern Pride’s black-tie fundraiser will transform into a Halloween Ball this year, which will take place on 29 October at Newcastle’s Crowne Plaza.

Pride supporters can enjoy a packed programme of entertainment, including performances from singer-songwriter, Tipps, and theatre company and cabaret trio, Bonnie and the Bonnettes.

Places are limited so book now
We have once again made the difficult decision to postpone our UK Pride event, which will now take place from 22 – 24 July 2022.
This is not a choice we have made lightly and, although we would love to deliver a fantastic, inclusive event to celebrate the diversity of our community, our first priority is keeping our attendees, volunteers and emergency services safe.
