Pride: The Movie, with Q&A

9th Jun 2023 @ 19:00

£6
Pride the movie still

Who’d have imagined that a film about gay / queer people, trade unionists and socialists could ever become a mainstream hit with an all-star cast?

Pride tells the unlikely story of how radical LGBT activists struck up an alliance with South Wales miners during the 1984/85 miners’ strike.

Winner of the BATFA Award for Outstanding British film in 2014, it stars Bill Nighy, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton amongst others.

There will be a Q&A session afterwards with Jonathan Blake, one of the very activists personified in the movie.

Theatre bar will be open afterwards for community mingling.

Frome Pride is an annual celebration of LGBTQIA+ people, run by the community of Frome and the surrounding area. Last year, we ran the UK’s shortest Pride. This year, we are holding the first ever Frome Pride Season.

Throughout June, local businesses, performers and residents of Frome will be coming together to show our love and appreciation for the LGBTQIA+ community. You can look forward to events, workshops, film screenings and more!
