Many have asked over the years about the move out of the market, we have always been very clear about this - Doncaster Pride can not and will not take place in the market unless the area is redeveloped and made safe for our event.’</p><p></p><p>Miss Penny, will play hostess for the event and the very first act on stage will be the Pleasure Boys – check those bad boys out! They will be doing an "appropriate" stage appearance – just in case you were wondering.</p><p></p><p>'Pride isn’t just for the gay community, it’s about bringing people together in a friendly and happy party atmosphere' said Pride Chair Cath Fox. </p><p></p><p>'This year’s event really does have something for everyone and we encourage people to come and join in the best party in Doncaster all year.</p><p></p><p>'We’re back in the town centre and Pride is FREE so we are accessible and affordable for everyone. We really hope to see a great crowd coming together to help the gay community celebrate.'</p><p></p><p></p><p>For a full list of who’s appearing at <a href="http://www.doncasterpride.co.uk/">Doncaster Pride, check out their website</a>.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>
