TO celebrate Pride month, a busy event was held yesterday to mark the occasion.
The first family-friendly event of its kind in the town took place at the White Hart in Horsebridge, where visitors were entertained by bands, a drag artist, magic shows and games.
The event was designed to bring the whole community together to celebrate equality, friendship, diversity and inclusivity in Hailsham. It was held mainly in the pub’s large outdoor area, which was the perfect venue for the music and entertainment.
Hundreds of visitors attended throughout the day to enjoy music from local band Supersaurus, which was followed by entertainment for the kids. They were also wowed by some close-up magic by magician Ian Hannaford.
Following a quiz and raffle, the night continued with music from guitarist Moss and drag artist ‘Fonda Cox’ who’s set was strictly for adults.
The Town Council supported the event by part-funding the project. Additional sponsors included Stevens & Carter Estate Agents and Hailsham Roadways.
It’s hoped the event will return next year with the continued support from sponsors and the town council.
