One of the UK's biggest Pride events will take place on Saturday, marking its 15th anniversary.
Bristol Pride will see Claire Richards from Steps, Bristol punk band The Menstrual Cramps and The Human League join an eclectic mix of acts in its biggest-ever programme.
Organisers are still seeking volunteers to help with the event on the Downs which follows a parade through the city.
Director Daryn Carter said: "It’s an opportunity for us to highlight the issues still going on - the prejudice and intolerance that still exists.
"In some parts of our community it’s the worst it’s ever been."
New things to take part in this year include a selection of sports events to "challenge the stigma still going on in sports" and a Ceilidh organised by the Old Market Assembly, to "connect people through the joy of music and dance".
