More than a venue

A space to connect, belong and just be. From morning coffee and stone-baked pizza to late-night cocktails and live performances, Proud Gloucester is where our community comes together.

Whether it’s laughter with friends, a drag show, a quiet chat, or a support circle, this is a venue built by and for Gloucestershire’s LGBTQ+ community.

For too long, our community has needed a space that feels like home. Proud Gloucester is that place - built by us, for us, to bring people together in safety, joy, and pride.
