The Warwickshire Pride Festival is returning this weekend, with Leamington set to be taken over with a "colourful celebration" of LGBTQ+ life and culture.

The annual community event returns on Saturday 22 August.

As ever, the day will begin with a Pride march through the town, followed by the main celebration at the Pump Room Gardens, until 6pm.

Attendees can look forward to stalls, a wide variety of food and drink vendors and live performances.
