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.”
