Now in its second year, <a href="https://absolutedigitalcommunications.com/silverprideuk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Silver Pride</a> is a unique online festival designed to connect with and celebrate older LGBT+ people.Over three days of summer,<a href="https://www.silverprideuk.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Silver Pride</a> presents a smorgasbord of guests, sessions and events. There are interviews: Broadway and Hollywood star Alan Cumming is our “opening gala” guest; our Big Saturday Interview is with actress Michelle Hardwick, currently appearing in Emmerdale; and actor and writer Simon Callow will be in conversation with theatre director Robert Hastie.Michelle Hardwick said: &quot;I&#x27;m thrilled to be part of such an exciting line-up for Silver Pride 2021. Times have been tough for everyone lately and events like Silver Pride are the perfect antidote to those times. I can&#x27;t think of a better way to spend a summer weekend!&quot;Running July 30 and 31 &amp; August 1, Silver Pride includes panel discussions, a cookalong and a singalong. Straight Jacket author Matthew Todd and novelist Matt Cain will discuss their work, and there will even be a lock-in as writers Paul Flynn and Jeremy Atherton-Lin discuss the pivotal place of the pub in the gay experience.The programme also features specially commissioned films: Drag Queen Story Hours, This is Me and, a sneak preview of Maisie, Lee Cooper’s documentary about Britain’s oldest drag artiste.With this year’s theme ‘everyday heroes’, Silver Pride is a celebration of the heroism that LGBT+ people show in order just to live their authentic lives. It is also a commemoration of those who went before us – those who marched and fought and campaigned and died for the freedoms we enjoy today.Silver Pride Founder Craig Burton said: “We want to create conversations about and generate noise around the lives of older LGBT+ folks, as well as promoting intergenerational communication. These ambitions are reflected in our programme: it’s aimed at older people but there really is something for everyone.”Burton adds: “We’ve made tickets free this year because we want to make the festival as accessible as possible – though we hope folks will consider donating what they can afford so Silver Pride can support grassroots LGBT+ groups and organisations across the UK.”All donations will go to a special Silver Pride fund, being overseen by the LGBT Consortium, and will be distributed to groups catering for older LGBT+ people and creating much-needed community.For more information on Silver Pride, including news on new guests, how to get tickets and how to donate, go to <a href="https://www.silverprideuk.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.silverprideuk.com</a> or follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/silverprideuk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter,</a> on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/silverprideuk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Instagram</a> or on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SilverprideUK" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.
