Women's Zone at Northern Pride
Donation protected
This year there is no allocated funding for a dedicated space for LGBT and allied women at Northern Pride, one of the few remaining *free* pride festivals.
We are not prepared to see this space go just yet, and plan to create an alternative space on site for the kind of entertainment you might not always expect from a commercial Pride.
We can't do this by ourselves - we need your help and support to broaden what it is to be LGBT women, and proud in the North East.
Contributions up to £5 get you loads of WZ love FOREVER.
> £5 gets you a space on our unique gratitude wall.
>£10 gets the above and a personalised shout out from one of our DJs over the Pride Weekend.
>£15 gets the above and a free ticket to either of our upcoming events (see below!)
>£25 gets all of the above and a limited addition poster by WZ's in-house illustrator.
>£40 or more get all of the above and a limited addition WZ tote bag!
>£50+ get all of the above and access to the WZ green room and free tickets to BOTH the Cheesy Fundraiset night May 9th and to 'DecoDance presents; 'Queer Cabaret' in June (date TBC)

Women who attended Women's Zone in the past said:
“Women’s zone was a safe space for me to meet my friends, to be honest we wouldn’t have come to Pride if it wasn’t for the Women’s Zone”
“The women’s zone felt safe for my child to be out and running around, it didn’t feel like that in the main event. Being in the women’s zone felt like he was really part of pride”
“Best pride yet, it was a mint day, women’s zone was the best bit”
“Women’s zone was the first time I’ve been in a women’s space, it felt really special”
Women’s Zone is arguably one of the most accessible spaces at Pride; as always we will budget for BSL interpretation as part of the Zone, in addition to providing varied entertainment.
Please give what you can to make Women's Zone happen!
