You’re invited to a special service to celebrate Liverpool’s Pride 2025

Liverpool Cathedral and Open Table are collaborating to host a reflective service that brings us together and celebrates the joy, vulnerability and visibility of Pride. Come and celebrate with us that all belong and have a home in our community.

Pride returns to Liverpool this July and you're invited to join in as Christians at Pride!

Join in on Saturday 26th July to march followed by events and community stalls at the M&S Bank Arena ending with a vigil at Liverpool Parish Church at 6.30pm.

Then on Sunday 27th July we'll be hosting a reflective service in the Lady Chapel of Liverpool Cathedral at 6.30pm to round off Pride weekend.

You are invited Sunday, 20th July to the regular Communion Service for Liverpool's LGBTQIA+ community, friends and family - 6.30pm at St Bride's Liverpool AND ONLINE - refreshments served from 6pm.

This month we welcome our dear friend the Revd Lilly Nelson to lead the service. Lilly is a priest in the Church of England, currently serving as Assistant Curate at St Peter’s Church, Formby. A long-time member of the Open Table, she speaks with gratitude about how it’s ministry—and the chosen family she found there—played a vital role in her journey toward ordination to the priesthood. It has been a long road to this moment, and she is absolutely delighted to be presiding. Lilly describes herself as ‘camp and sapphic’, embracing both her faith in Jesus and personal identity with joy and authenticity.

Join us for an evening of music and song, featuring the Liverpool Orchestrand and the Liverpool Community Choir.
