In Pictures - Rushden pub marks Pride month with weekend-long celebration

The Welcome Inn in Rushden marked Pride month with a three-day celebration this weekend.

Over the course of three days, beginning June 19, people visited the Irchester Road pub to enjoy games, activities and entertainment, all to support charities and celebrate visibility for LGBTQ+ people.

The weekend was in support of local charity Serve as well as Stonewall, Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ equality charity.

Of the £1,493.77 raised, £1,000 was allocated to Serve, £300 to Stonewall and £173.77 to Rushden Pride, to cover the cost of the Pride activities.

A spokesman for Rushden Pride said: “SERVE worked hard all weekend with us to raise this money and being our local charity are having 70 per cent of the funding. Thank you to the Serve team for all your hard work.

"A huge thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, attended events and supported us along the way. Your generosity helps us continue supporting both our local community and the wider LGBTQ+ community.”
