10k Walk & Celebration

This Pride Month, on Saturday the 8th of June, we will once again be setting off from the picturesque Furnival Gardens for a scenic 10k walk along the river Thames, as we celebrate Pride Month by being present, visible, and showing solidarity for our community. Plus, we'll also be raising some much needed funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease.

The walk kicks off at 10am and should take no longer than two hours, and thereafter you'll be treated to an afternoon of delicious food, camp entertainment, and a whole lot of fun at the Black Lion in Hammersmith!

Those who joined us last year will agree that it was definitely one of our best events, and this year promises to be even bigger and better with an expected 400 people taking part.

Tickets include entry into the walk and after party, a 'Progressive Pride Flag' cape or a Pride/Lesbian/Trans or Bisexual flag, a WLQP commemorative medal + a burger (beef, chicken or veggie) and a pint of larger or a soft drink.
