Croydon Pride (1993)

Croydon Pride has meant two different things over the years: a Pride festival in Croydon in June 1993, and a website associated with the Croydon LGBT Forum between 2002 and 2006.

1993

There was a Croydon Pride in June 1993. It included events at

• the Bird in Hand
• the Hollybush (Crystal Palace)
• PJs (Thornton Heath)
• Streets Bar (Penge)

Buses were laid on to take people to London Pride (the Pride Parade in central London and then the Pride Festival in Brockwell Park).

The Croydon Pride brochure listed seven participating groups:

• the Croydon Pride Organising Group
• CAGS
• CAGY
• Croydon Friend
• the Croydon Lesbian and Gay Monitor
• the Croydon Lesbian Social Support Group
• the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

The following year however Croydon Pride was dissolved through lack of support, but the CAGS banner continued to be carried in the Pride Parade.
