FAQs

Which Jewish groups will be marching and do I have to be a member of one to join in?

To march with us in Pride in London you don't need to be a member of any of the groups that are all joining together for the parade. You can come on your own, with your friends and on the day you'll hopefully make new friends!

Some of the groups coming together include (this list will be added to):

• Imahot v’Avot is a social group for families who have one or more parent who identify as Jewish and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, or Questioning (LGBTQQ).
• KeshetUK works to ensure a world where no one has to choose between their LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) and Jewish identity. We work with schools, universities, synagogues, youth movements, other community organisations and individuals to broaden LGBT+ Jewish inclusion and incubate new projects as we plan for the future needs of LGBT+ individuals in the Jewish community.
• West London Synagogue,
• Jewish LGBT+ Group (formerly JGLG),
• Gay Jews In London,
• Beit Klal Yisrael,
• Parents of Jewish Gays and Lesbians.

Is there a minimum age requirements to attend Pride?

No. There is no minimum age for Pride in London. KeshetUK does not take responsibility for those attending and if you're under 18, however, you will need to be accomodanied by a responsible adult. Also please note - everyone (including children and babies) is required to register for a wristband.

Pride in London is open to everyone! And anyone who wants to create an inclusive Jewish community is welcome to march with us! This year we will have a mini bus for those who would like to take part but walking/standing for that long is not appealing or an option! If you're interested in a seat in the mini bus - please do register for a wrist band and email us at info@keshetuk.org.

I've never been to a pride before - what should I do to prepare, what should I wear or bring along on the day?

Just bringing yourself is enough but here is a list of things to consider!

- Check the weather: You might want to prepare for a rainstorm or a heat wave! It's London in July after all - so we just never know whether it's sunglasses or umbrella weather (or both..).

- Noise makers: whistles, gregers, your voices! It's a fun day and some chants, singing and whistle always go down well!

- Snacks: We can spend some time standing around and you might get a bit hungry!

- LGBT+ flags/banners/placards: Always worth seeing if you've got rainbow (or other LGBT+) flags hidden away somewhere - perfect opportunity to fly them!

- Clothing: Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in! Whether that's jeans and a tshirt, ball gown, colourful clothing or not. Pride is about you being you and that means wearing whatever you feel best in.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No. We will have a list of names.

Is my registration fee or ticket transferrable?

No. We have a large waiting list and so we ask that you let us know if you can't come either through Eventbrite or by emailing us.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Please email info@keshetuk.org if you have any questions.
