Last month we highlighted our top six events to look forward to during PRIDEFEST month, if none of those tickled your fancy, here are a few other events that shouldn’t be missed.
Freedom Centre Open Day
Each year the Freedom Centre holds it’s Open Day – from 12-5pm you can take part in a plethora of activities that introduce you to the organisation. Donate a gold coin to gauge on tea, coffee and cake whilst taking in the photo exhibition, videos and podcast booth. Head down on Saturday October 27.
