Golden Square Shopping Centre is turning up the fabulousness with the announcement of the headlining acts for Glitter at Warrington Pride 2024.

Prepare to be mesmerised as two fierce queens from the runway of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK grace the stage in Warrington on Saturday, June 8 as part of Pride celebrations.

Season 4 champion Danny Beard and Tia Kofi, recently crowned RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World winner, will each deliver captivating performances at Warrington Pride, promising an unforgettable experience.

Ian Cox, Golden Square’s Centre Director, said:

“We’re bringing the glitter, the glam and all of the sass to Golden Square for Warrington Pride 2024. Danny Beard and Tia Kofi are ready to ‘werk it’, and we can’t wait to see them perform.”

Warrington Pride is set to make its much-welcomed return to the town centre next month with an emphasis on diversity and community inclusion.  

Building on the success of last year’s event, the 2024 edition will take place as part of Pride Month, with the support of the popular shopping destination, as well as Warrington Borough Council, Warrington BID, Warrington Market, Culture Warrington, Warrington Youth Zone, University of Chester, LiveWire, HC Promotions and United Utilities.

It aims to bring the community together in the spirit of acceptance and solidarity and will feature a programme of activities, including exciting events, thought-provoking talks, performances and creative showcases.

Ian added:

“Get ready to paint the town rainbow and join us for the most fabulous party of the year!”

Warrington Pride 2024 will also feature live music, performances, workshops and a parade through the streets of the town, as well as hosting a variety of vendors and community organisations providing resources and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies.
