About the Project Creator
Margate Pride CIC is a culture and arts-led pride, a celebration of LGBTQIA+ life and a platform to continue the fight for equality and to challenge prejudice. Set up in 2016 as a Community Interest Company (CIC),Organised by a team of year-round volunteers, we produce a week long Art Trail, a queer culture and arts-festival leading up to Pride weekend. The Art Trail programme provides a platform for celebrating and nurturing the best LGBTQIA+ artists whilst enhancing the overall experience of Margate for its residence and local businesses, plus visitors to the town who come to see the Art Trail and enjoy Pride.
Margate Pride is not just a parade for the day. It’s an expression of the whole community and the Art Trail is a legacy building activity in Margate and Thanet collaborating with other community groups.
