Outside of Castlemead, on Lower Castle Street, Bristol, South West of England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 9th of July 2022.

About those photographs.

The 2022 Bristol Pride started at Castle Park, moved into Castle Street, and turned left into Lower Castle Street, heading north towards Penn Street.

This photo was taken on the steps outside Castlemead, which is a tall building offering office spaces for various companies. On the left side of the photo is a junction with Broad Weir.

Here, the parade is still in the early stage, at that time I took those shots, the front end of the parade would have already gone into Penn Street. Those people area more likely to be between the front end and the midway of the parade.

I decided to go up the short steps, you can see the handrails in the lower left corner of the photo, in order to try to get a high angle viewpoint, showing the scale of the crowd.

About the event.

Bristol Pride is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.

The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.

The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium.

The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.

After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.
