Surrey LGBTQ+ events happening during Pride month

June is a special time in the LGBTQ+ community as it is Pride month. While you may normally picture loud colourful marches, Pride is being marked in lots of different ways across Surrey, throughout the month.

The big Pride in Surrey march is happening in Guildford this year. However, this will happen on September 21 meaning there is lots of space for other events in June. Spread across the county they include cinema screenings, live music and lots more besides.
