PRIDE is almost upon us in Chelmsford, fingers crossed the weather dries up and is a gloriously sunny day as usual. Bar Plus have been granted permission this year to provide a cocktail bar in the festival park, central park Chelmsford - thank you Essex Pride!
This is a new addition to the festival and we are going to add extra fun and glamour to what is already one of the best PRIDE festivals in the country. Even if you do not drink cocktails, come along, watch the spectacle, see the mixologist do what they do best, talk to Kirsty & Lilly about Bar Plus, what it means to them, and what they provide to Chelmsford's community. Listen to their journey, and why the political and social shift of opinion towards transgender and the whole LGBTQIA+ community needs to change before damage to done to peace loving individuals who only want to live their lives freely without fear and hatred.
We hope that you can all visit, and experience, the best celebration of human interaction and zest for life that cannot be found anywhere else. Essex Pride gets better every year, and Bar Plus is stepping up and showcasing the amazing vibe of an all inclusive safe space bar that we hope Chelmsford is proud of.
We cannot wait to be part of the festivities.
Love to you all.
The Bar Plus Team ######
