As Pride weekend gets closer, Newcastle is already buzzing with events celebrating queer culture, creativity, and connection. Pride Fringe 2025 is officially underway, and the next ten days offer a packed line-up of must-see moments across the city.
Here’s what you can expect:
🌍 Queer Planet
📅 Thursday 3 July 2025
🕢 19:30 – 21:00
📍 Alphabetti Theatre, St James' Blvd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4HP
Award-winning drag king and London’s loveable nature boy, Bi-Curious George, invites you into a raucous, joy-fuelled celebration of queerness and the animal kingdom. Expect camp creatures, wild facts, and unapologetic queer energy in a show that’s as informative as it is unhinged. Presented in partnership with Curious Arts, Queer Planet is where natural history meets drag cabaret, and absolutely no one’s playing it straight.
🎶 Northern Proud Voices – Cathedral Concert
📅 Friday 4 July 2025
🕖 19:00 – 20:30
📍 Newcastle Cathedral, St. Nicholas Sq, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 1PF
Join us for an uplifting evening of music in one of the city’s most iconic venues. Northern Proud Voices, the North East’s largest and longest-running LGBTQIA+ choir, will perform a powerful setlist of pop and rock hits — all delivered with heart, harmony, and Pride.
🏊 Out to Swim – Inclusive Swim Session
📅 Saturday 5 July 2025
🕥 10:45 – 12:00
📍 Heworth Leisure Centre, High Lanes, Gateshead NE10 0PD
Dive into Pride weekend with Out to Swim, the new LGBTQIA+ swim club making waves in Newcastle. Whether you're a total beginner or just fancy a splash, join us for a fun and welcoming taster session. Enjoy free coaching, meet fellow queer swimmers, and get moving in a relaxed, body-positive space.
