Worcestershire Pride was cancelled last year
Last year, the organisers were left heartbroken after they were forced to cancel the festival due to covid.
Previously, chairman of the committee, Mathew Skilbeck, said: "We are absolutely heartbroken to say that we will have to postpone Worcestershire Pride until 2022.
“The event has a huge impact on lots of people’s lives including Pride goers, our acts and businesses that we feature, so it’s not a decision that we’re taking lightly.
“Our team has been working incredibly hard to see if we can make the event work, but sadly, as a not-for-profit event, a lack of funding means we can’t hold the event this year. We’ll be back bigger and better in 2022.”
