The 2018 event was held at the prestigious Bristol Museum and Art Gallery for a truly magical.
A sold out event for the last 3 years, over 210 people joined us this year with members of the public and business organisations helping make this our busiest year including tables from:
EDF Energy, Irwin Mitchell, Aviva, DAC Beachcroft, The Labour Party, Bristol City Council, Burges Salmon and Bristol University.
Proceeds from the night will go to support Bristol Pride and our named charity which in 2018 was The Albert Kennedy Trust who provide a lifeline for many suffering extreme persecutions at this time.
