NEWQUAY Pride, which was due to take place on Saturday, (August 29) has been cancelled following the severe weather forecast.

A Pride march was earmarked to be held from Towan Beach as well as activities on the Killacourt.

A spokesperson for Cornwall Pride said: “Due to severe weather conditions, Newquay Pride has been cancelled.

“We know this is hugely disappointing, and it was not a decision we made lightly. Above all else, we care about the safety and wellbeing of our community, volunteers, performers, traders and everyone who planned to join us.

“Cornwall Pride is committed to bringing Newquay Pride back later this year. We’ll be working on a new date and will share updates as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Please stay safe and take care of one another.”
