Norwich Pride is a celebration of local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer Life.
Everybody is welcome - our central events are free and inclusive.
Our aim is to use music, debate, sport, history, arts and entertainment to raise awareness of LGBT issues and to get rid of the discrimination faced by LGBT people.
Most of all, we want to ensure that Norwich is a city where everyone feels safe and proud to be themselves.

Film: To Each Her Own
Cinema City, St Andrews Street, Norwich, NR2 4AD
26 Jul, 2009 ~ 5:30pm - 7:30pm
* London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival on Tour *
Director: Heather Tobin. Starring Hannah Hogan, Tracy Rae, Shaughnessy Redden. Canada 2008. 109 mins.
This assured debut by talented all-rounder Heather Tobin (she scripted, produced, shot and edited the film) is the coming out tale of young married Jess and the emotional rollercoaster she finds herself on when she meets and instantly falls for out proud lesbian Casey. Growing up with a mother that believes homosexuality is a sin it's no wonder Jess buried her true feelings and married her high school sweetheart fresh after graduation. Yet she's unable to keep away from the charming Casey and the two young women embark on an affair, discovering what it means to truly love someone. But will love be enough for Jess to tell the truth and come out? An award-winning film at numerous festivals this low-budget gem marks Tobin out as a director to watch.
