Pride in London is almost here. A week of fringe events followed by the weekend of partying. Here we list all of the events that are on offer that have a focus towards LBQ women... we really are spoilt for choice this year!! On Saturday alone, the total capacity at events where it is run by or for women is a whopping 5,200.
Pride and bPay – don’t get caught out without any money!
Whilst the idea of wearing your funky wrist band and leaving the wallet at home sounds great, sadly for us women you will need to have both for some of the events on offer. We have added whether the venue accepts contactless or not, so you don’t pre-load all of your money onto your wristband only to find you can’t actually use it where you are going! Using the wrist band will give 20p in every £1 you spend to Pride in London (if you signed up to this – it was optional).
Don’t forget to pre-purchase your ticket if you are going out with just the band as if the event has a door fee, this will be cash only!
Here is a run down to help you decide where to go for Pride in London in 2014:

Lesbian Latin love comes to London for Pride
Smirnoff supports Girlie Carnival in conjunction with One Love London and Girlie Circuit Barcelona to recreate the euphoric vibe of a Latin street party for London Pride on June 28, 2014 from 9pm – 5am at Soho’s eclectic Grace Bar.
The hottest ticket to Pride’s biggest party for girls will be held right in the heart of Soho. For one night only the Girlie Carnival is taking over the Milk Bar and Cocoa Club space for an unforgettable, special event featuring the spiciest DJ’s on the scene.
In the Milk Bar, Popstarz DJ Talia will be playing Pop alongside DJ Denis the Menace who will be dropping his signature pulsating, sexy R-n-B rhythms for those who want to get down and dirty on the dance-floor. Club regular girls’ scene scorchers Miss Cupcake, Rachel Harvey and DJ Lady Lola will also be banging out the party tunes and Pride anthems all night long.
As well as this stellar DJ line up, One Love will be laying on jaw-dropping live entertainment that captures the carnival spirit: expect driving, euphoric samba beats and carnal misbehaviour with Brazilian Drummers, sexy Samba dancing and flaming fire-eaters. HOT!
Whilst One Love and Girlie Circuit support this year’s theme of “freedom” all year round, this year will be particularly special as the Girlie Carnival party will play host to the truly diverse and international Lesbian and Bi audiences. Welcoming those who come to London to celebrate their sexual freedom, this is sure to be the best Pride celebration on the planet.
Smirnoff is proudly supporting Girlie Carnival at Pride and will be handing out Freedom freebies all night to lots of lucky bi girls and lesbians. As if this wasn’t enough, keep your eye out for the Barcelona Girlie Circuit freebies too.
Tickets are bound to sell out so make sure you’re one of the early birds who samba away with theirs for just £10 before the price goes up to £15.
VIP tables will also be available for the night.

£20 (profit goes to Stonewall).
POUT
and Stonewall Women will be celebrating PRIDE this year at St Martin in the
Fields with a Champagne reception and Party from 9pm to 2am.
Stonewall
Women was set up to encourage more women to participate in Stonewall and to
promote greater understanding of lesbian and bi sexual women's needs.
The
2014 PRIDE theme is "Freedom to" and POUT is proud to be the host for
the official Stonewall Women's Pride Party.
The
UK LGBT community have the "Freedom to" embrace, enjoy and celebrate
the human rights and social equalities that do not exist in other countries.
This, to a large extent, has come about through organised protest,
demonstrations, vigils, lobbying, fights, loss, education and legislation.
Thanks to strong voices like Stonewall we are able to demand and expect equal
opportunity with our heterosexual peers. In my time we have come a long way but
the journey is not at an end. We still need to continue the campaign for total
equality, for acceptance and fight against hate crime.
The
Stonewall Women's Pride Party is a fund raiser to help continue the campaign
for equality.
There
will be a glass of bubbly on arrival, canapés from 9:30pm, goody bags and
great, uplifting, awesome party music to dance, stomp, bump, boogie, shimmy,
shake and twerk your thang until two in the morning!!!!
Yahooooo!
Music by Mz Shady Lady! It will be fabulous, spectacular, amazing, fantastic
event to say thank you for supporting Stonewall and that we deeply appreciate
your continued help. This event is open to our lovely male supporters.

Feature by Naomi
Summer Rites, supported by Smirnoff, have joined forces with established lesbian event organisers Nicola Chubb and Rebecca Paisis – known for a wide range of events on the scene, including CODE, One Love, Winter Pride and the infamously glam
MINT nights to bring the LGBT community Out on the Dock - one of this summer’s biggest,
most diverse LGBT festivals. 
I am loving the fact that us girls will have a whole arena to ourselves, as well as the swanky MINT champagne and cocktail bar, so we can mingle with like-minded ladies and strut our sassy stuff after a bout of energetic dancing with the festival-going masses.
