Brighton Pride was mine and Abbie's first ever pride together! We've wanted to celebrate pride together for years but never got the chance to. It was such an amazing experience and I am so excited to share just a few of my favourite photos from the weekend.

Pride is all about celebrating who you are and embracing who you are. You're able to feel safe and accepted surrounded by a bunch of people who are just like you. This is why I love pride so much, we don't have that feeling of people looking at us because we're holding hands. No one cares at pride, you can just do you and everyone loves it.

We watched the parade first which was really good. Everyone was in such a happy upbeat mood. They gave out so many stickers and freebies during the parade we ended up covered in about 10 stickers each.

The parade is free to go watch, I would recommend going the vibe is always the best as it's the start of all the pride celebrations. After the parade we went to pizza hut and it started raining, luckily it didn't last long and the sun started shining again. We headed back to check into our hotel which was right opposite where their festival thing was being held. Once we checked in and added more glitter we headed over the road. The festival looked so good, there were tons of rides, different music stages, loads of food stalls and a little market area.

There was a Ford stall that did some marble body art which we obviously had to get done. There were loads of free fun things to do.

Here's some cute photos from the festival and how it looked.

I went with my beautiful girlfriend and one of my amazing best friends. We got some super cute photos together and also met Becky Hill who performed that night, she was lovely!

We were knackered that day as we had been up since 5am. We left a little bit before the festival finished and slept like babies. The next day we spent the late morning down the seafront and on the pier. We went for some really yummy chips on the pier and failed at trying to win a soft toy. We also went for ice cream and took some cute photos of Brighton. If you ever get the chance to go to Brighton pride you have to go! It's one of the best atmospheres.

Thanks for reading!! See you next Sunday.
