Leeds Pride Unveils Plans for the First LGBTQ+ Community Centre in the City
22nd August 2024
Leeds Pride is delighted to announce Pride Place, the first dedicated LGBTQ+ community and cultural centre in Leeds. Located in the heart of the Freedom Quarter, this historic development marks a significant achievement for the Leeds LGBTQ+ community, providing an essential and inclusive space for support, connection and celebration.
The creation of Pride Place has been made possible through the efforts of the newly formed Leeds Pride committee, which successfully secured the necessary funding to bring this vital project to life. The centre will be the first of its kind in Leeds City Centre, offering a much-needed hub where LGBTQ+ groups, organisations, and individuals can come together for meetings, events, and cultural activities.
Located just a short walk from Leeds train and bus stations, Pride Place will be easily accessible to residents of Leeds and West Yorkshire. The centre will feature versatile spaces to accommodate a wide range of community needs, from intimate group meetings to large-scale events and workshops.
In a statement reflecting the excitement surrounding the project, a spokesperson for Leeds Pride said, “We are beyond proud to be able to bring Pride Place to the heart of Leeds. This centre represents a huge leap forward for our community, offering a safe, welcoming, and fully inclusive space where LGBTQ+ individuals can connect and find support. It’s an honour to provide the resources that our community needs and deserves, and we believe Pride Place will play a crucial role across Leeds and beyond.”
Pride Place will officially open its doors for bookings from 31st August 2024, and will be available for use by any LGBTQ+ groups, organisations, or individuals looking for a supportive space to host their activities.
