The Pride Village is the focal point for the afternoon of Saturday 16th September and will cover People’s Park and Victoria Park in St Helier. It will be made up of the following zones:
Main Stage
The Main Stage, provided by Stage 2 Productions, will face out over People’s Park and will host the major acts for the afternoon into the evening, including Headliners 5IVE. Hosted by our Master of Ceremonies Dr Adam Perchard and DJ Hannah Jacques.
Cabaret Stage
The Cabaret Stage, a new edition for 2023, will host local and national acts, comedians, entertainers and speakers, including Drag Queens Tomara Thomas and Mercedes Bends – stars of the Eurovision Semi-Final!
Silent Disco
A crowd favourite, the Silent Disco – hosted by Kismet Kabana – will return, but even larger. With a Dance theme, it will host multiple DJs across the day, including up-and-coming young DJs through the Jersey Youth Service.
Family Zone
Pride is a family event and we want to ensure that all families can enjoy the afternoon, regardless of their means. We are able to offer low-cost entertainment for children including Bungee Funrun, Surf Simulator, Gladiator Duel, Mega Slide, Bouncy Castles, face painting, hula-hooping, soft play and other activities.
Community Zone
Island charities are invited to attend Pride for free within the Community Zone to promote their activities and causes. As well as exhibition space there will be a break-out space to hold sessions, a Tea Tent from the Samaritans, and presence from local Emergency Services, Government departments, and national charities including the Terrence Higgins Trust.
Wellbeing Zone
The wellbeing of our Pride attendees is critical. As well as ensuing Pride is fully accessible, we are working with local businesses to provide a range of physical and mental health sessions throughout the day, including yoga, HIIT training, mindfulness, Sexual Health testing and counselling.
Quiet Zone
A dedicated, welcoming and relaxing space for people who are neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD etc) or who simply find large crowds and the hustle and bustle of Pride too much. You will find the Liberate information tent near here for all your questions and any accessibility help on the day
Food Village and Bars
A range of food vendors showcasing different cuisines will be present throughout the Pride Village, as well as Genuine Jersey ice-cream sellers, and local bars provided by Alfresco Events, selling the exclusive Channel Islands Pride Sippin Gin and Forbidden Cocktails.
