Drag queen Cheryl Hole, who came to stardom on Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK season 1, will headline Scarborough’s first pride event in over a decade.
Scarborough Pride will take place for the first time since 2011 at the end of September.
The Pride celebrations will include a parade through town to the Spa complex, which will feature an array of entertainment across the main stage in the Grand Hall and a family stage in the Sun Court as well as an array of music, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.
Cheryl will be part of the opening proceedings for Scarborough Pride, opening its very first parade, as well as performing on the main stage in Scarborough Spa’s Grand Hall.
Cheryl said
“I'm so honoured to be a part of Scarborough Pride this year. Now more than ever, we as a community need to be using our voices, coming together, celebrating ourselves and showing that we're not going anywhere. Scarborough has always had a very special place in my heart and to perform for you all is going to be an absolute honour. Get ready for a party my divas!"
After storming into the Top 4 on Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK in 2019, Cheryl has been unstoppable as the hustling diva, performing up and down the country and entertaining globally on her social media platforms. She has also appeared on television, becoming the face of Virgin Media’s Christmas campaign as well as appearing on Comedy Central’s ‘Your Face or Mine’, BBC’s ‘Strictly Frocked Up’ and ‘Celebs on the Farm’ filmed at Scarborough’s very own Stepney Hill Farm’.
George Wakely, Head of Entertainment & PR for Scarborough Pride said,
“We are beyond thrilled to have Cheryl on board as our headliner for Pride, and we’re really looking forward to working with her, she is such a talented performer, and we can’t wait for her to bring her unique and fabulous talents to our main stage as well as welcoming her back to Scarborough”.
A big part of Scarborough Pride's peripheral events is to engage with the wider Scarborough community and beat loneliness whilst improving mental health, aiming to show locals that there is an open and welcoming LGBTQ+ community out there.
