Student’s Guild celebrates Pride week

our own on-campus version so that we can come together and celebrate all our LGBTQ+ students, staff and friends.”

The Guild went on to say: “We worked closely with many societies to provide students with a variety of events and activities, including: Pride march on Streatham campus; drag night & make-up masterclass and pronoun badge making as well as talks and discussions from local charities/ organisations and alumni.”

The University library compiled a playlist of LGBTQ+ resources, films, and TV shows, all accessible via their website. Societies involved included Exeter LGBTQ+ Society, who put together a range of events, including picnics with an after-event at The Monkey Suit, and a trip to Dawlish Warren, and will be attending Exmouth Pride on the 17th June.

The Fashion Society held a punch-needling creative workshop at The Sunset Society, bringing together creatives from across the University and the city. Beyond the University, venues across Exeter have hosted their pride events; IntercomTrust has worked with the Phoenix to put together a Rainbow Fayre, with representatives from local LGBTQ+ organisations and charities, street food, music, performances, and creative workshops. Furthermore, LGBTQ+ expression events have been incorporated into the Exeter Respect Festival — which took place on the 10th and 11th June — with the aim of bringing communities together from across the local area. These events have proven incredibly popular and have marked the importance of LGBTQ+ expression.
