The Carnival Club group chat has been popping off all week in the aftermath of an utterly AMAZING Kendal Pride

What an unbelievable weekend we had. There was a wonderful energy in the air, everyone was buzzing and it was such a special reminder of what an inclusive and vibrant community we have right here in Kendal.

A massive well done to our fab carnival clubbers who worked hard to get all the carnival costumes finished in time for the first Pride Parade - did you see them??

Thank you to everyone who was involved with pulling this years Pride together - it was the best yet and we already can't wait for next year! 🌈

What a joy to be part of such an amazing event! It’s amazing to see how far the festival has come in just 4 years!!! 💪💪💪 Kendal Pride is most definitely about Joy and Community! And we’re here for it!!!

This year we had the privilege to work with Pride in a number of different ways including running workshops in schools, hosting the community making sessions and Soapbox stage rehearsals. As well as being part of Kendal Pride’s first ever procession with the Ragtag Parade Troupe and of course getting creative with families at the Ragtag Roadshow!

What a weekend!!! Thankyou Kendal Pride and thankyou Kendal for turning up and making it such a special event!!!

❤️💛💚💜💙🤍🩵🩷

Looking for a Father’s Day gift that’s actually personal and gives the kids something lovely to do too?

Pop into Ragtag on Saturday 20th June for our Father’s Day Portraits drop-in session, where children can create a brilliant handmade artwork for someone special.

Bring a photo of dad, grandad, stepdad, uncle or another important father figure, or bring them along in person, and we’ll help little makers turn a simple portrait into a bold, textured paper and card masterpiece.

There’ll be ripping, folding, layering, sticking and plenty of creative chaos as children build up features like hair, glasses, clothes and funny little details that make their person their person.

It’s a lovely way to spend some quality time together and create a keepsake that feels thoughtful, personal and full of character.
