Trans Pride 2025 was a humdinger of a weekend, Games Night, Trans Town, Testo by Wet Mess and the second Trans Pride Fest at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery.
Games Night saw the birth of The Realm of Elgebetequa along with board games, LARPs and minecraft and Lego stations.
Saturday introduced Trans Town to the world with events & discounts organised independently by businesses around Hastings & St Leonards. two Trans Sauna sessions, a Trans Run, admin assistance fuelled by Pizza, football kickabouts, life drawing and a day rave bringing legendary trans DJs to town.
Saturday night in collaboration with Giddy Up, we brought Wet Mess down with their full length theatre extravaganza TESTO.
Trans Pride Fest was another gloriously sunny sunday. Entertainment all day supplied by NyongBella, Queer Ass Folk, Joel White & PMBC on the outside stage and indoors the Salon De T ran alongside Soof & elijas’ ‘Proud zine’ workshop with amazing poetry from Luc Grey, Subira Joy, Emma Frankland & Remi Graves. The blazing heat was eased by two free swim sessions in the pool next door, a bunch of free icecreams & Three Legs Brewery who generously provided a bar.
Thanks to The National Lottery Awards For All and The Arts Council this year we raised £34,500.
