After a quiet few years, Bourne Free was back on the 8th and 9th July 2022.

The popular pride festival celebrates LGBTQIA+ diversity across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.

A new book, Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850-1950 portrays the history of romantic love between men in hundreds of moving and tender vernacular photographs taken between the years 1850 and 1950. This visual narrative of astonishing sensitivity brings to light an until-now-unpublished collection of hundreds of snapshots, portraits, and group photos taken in the most varied of contexts, both private and public.

After the parade, Bourne Free continued in the gardens with stalls and live music.

Thousands of people lined the streets of Bournemouth to watch the Bourne Free parade snake it's way through town.

The Lower Gardens were packed for the afternoon entertainment at the Bandstand on Saturday 1st July for Bourne Free 2017.

Saturday 1st July saw the colourful Bourne Free Pride Parade travel through Bournemouth. The parade route started on East Cliff, continued through the town centre and ended up in The Triangle.
