"However, we are committed to bringing the LGBTQ+ community and its allies together digitally, and we are so excited to be moving Nottinghamshire Pride online and venturing into the online world – a first for us.

"We have been busy behind the scenes planning everything and we can’t wait to reveal further details over the coming weeks.

“Last year, more than 9,000 people lined the streets of Nottingham to take part in the parade.

"Nottinghamshire Pride is vital as it brings the LGBTQ+ community together in all its rainbow glory, right into the heart of Nottingham city and is a visible reminder of the contribution that LGBTQ+ people bring, while also giving us a chance to celebrate those who came before us to get us where are today.”
