On Saturday 21 June, Midsummer's Day, Thame will proudly host its first ever Pride Festival.
The festival will celebrate inclusivity and diversity in Thame and its surrounding villages. The centre of the town will be closed to create a Pride Village hosting family-friendly entertainment and music on two stages. Stars of the West End and national television will take part thanks to their close allegiances with Thame.
Thame Pride has partnered with Lord Williams's School, Thame Library, and Thame Town Council to offer a wide range of educational activities. Sports clubs are actively involved including Thame Women's Rugby Club and Thame Runners who have organised a fundraiser in the spring of 2025.
Thame Town Council has given financial support and many local businesses are founding sponsors of the festival.
Deputy Mayor of Thame, David Dawson said, “The Thame Pride Festival is an important step forward for Thame. We are an increasingly diverse community and the Pride Festival will demonstrate what an inclusive and welcoming town we are. This is going to be a fun and informative weekend for everyone.”
