UK Black Pride has shared more information regarding this year’s festivities and its sponsors.
On 14 August, the highly anticipated protest and pride celebration is set to take place at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.
The forthcoming event is the first to be in-person since 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 2020 and 2021’s being moved online.
With UK Black Pride 2022 right around the corner, Crystal Head Vodka and LGBTQ+ human rights charity Kaleidoscope Trust have teamed up for two warm-up events.
On 11 August, Crystal Head Vodka will be hosting the Amuse Bouche & Boogie VIP event.
Taking place at 7:30 pm, the evening will be hosted by Dr. Lady Phyll and is set to feature performances, immersive discussions, and showstopping acts, including Yshee Black and Tenaka Fuego.
The event, which will be held at the Stratford Hotel’s Manhattan Loft Gardens, will also include music from the establishment’s house band and an array of cocktails and canapés to consume.
On 13 August, Yshee will return to the Stratford Hotel at 8pm to host her critically acclaimed show Church of Yshee. The sure-to-be iconic evening will feature lip sync performances from talented kings and queens of colour.
Attendees can also expect special guest appearances, prizes and a signature Crystal Head Vodka cocktail upon entry.
Tickets for the Amuse Bouche & Boogie VIP event are priced at £100, with the Church of Yshee show coming in at £15.
On top of the showstopping entertainment and insightful conversations, 100% of the ticket sale revenue will be going to UK Black Pride and Kaleidoscope Trust.
