Newcastle Pride have once again teamed up with sponsors Manchester Airport for one of the biggest LGBT Pride festivals in the UK. As part of the partnership, they are once again giving out a trip to San Francisco, California.
People wanting to enter the raffle for a chance to win a £2000 voucher to purchase flights to San Francisco and accommodation for the duration of their stay will need to sign up before the 27 May. Raffle tickets can be bought for £1 at Boulevard, Churchill St or at the Newcastle Pride office at Dance City, Temple St.

“We are excited to be working with Manchester Airport to offer this amazing competition for the second year running,” said Stephen Willis, festival director.
“Last year’s winner had an incredible time in San Francisco and we are thrilled to be able to offer the experience to another pair. Not only is it a fantastic prize but money raised through ticket sales will go to LGBT charity, Northern Pride, to help keep the festival free.”
This year the theme of the LGBT festival is the celebration of the rainbow flag, synonymous with the LGBT+ community, which was designed by San Francisco artist and activist Gilbert Baker.
This year’s Newcastle Pride will take place from the 20-22 July and will include an amazing live music line-up and an amazing celebratory ambience which last year brought 73,000 visitors to the city.
