Umbrella Heaven at Durham Pride

May Bank Holiday Weekend

 

This bank holiday weekend saw in the 5th Annual Durham Pride event. Thousands marched in support of the LGBTQ+ community through the historic streets of Durham. The parade started at Palace green and ended at The Sands. Where the day-long entertainment continued until the evening.

With fun fair rides, a stage hosting entertainment, hot air balloons, and bars to keep the event goer’s happy until the evening. Not to mention stalls for merchandise and charities. Umbrella Heaven took along a huge range of Rainbow umbrellas to be waved high and proud. The event was family friendly, colourful and meticulously planned by the organisers. With a great security and police presence keeping it running smoothly throughout.

Unfortunately for us at Umbrella Heaven the sun shined the entire day. This put off many people from buying our Rainbow Umbrellas, apart from those wanting to escape the sun and use it as a shade.

A fabulous day, brilliantly organised, drawing in supporters in their thousands. We look forward to next years event.
