Celebrate Pride at Norwich Theatre
This event is in the past
We invite you to celebrate Norwich Pride (27 Jul) with an extravaganza of activities at Norwich Theatre. We will open our doors with something for everyone to enjoy both before and after the march.
The day will start with a musical-themed Drag Brunch in Norwich Theatre’s in-house restaurant Prelude at 10am. Hosted by showstopping queens Zoe Promiscuous and Pfizer Manelli, who will sashay to your favourite musical smash hits while you indulge in a mouthwatering brunch.
The fun and sequins don’t stop there, with the party moving up to the Long Bar from 12 noon with a host of free acts from local drag artists. Scroll down to see the full lineup.
All of the festivities have been designed and programmed to ensure you also have time to capture the Pride march as it passes the building. The Norwich Theatre Royal balconies offer the perfect vantage point to view the procession. For those with access needs, the balcony near the Octagon Lounge is reserved. After the march, the free acts will resume, so be prepared to dance until you (death) drop.
