Cunard and P&O Cruises are headline sponsors of Southampton Pride, and on 24 August, colleagues are supporting the event throughout the day and proudly marching in the city centre parade.
The event is expected to be even bigger and better than last year’s, with crowds of up to 15,000 people expected in Southampton’s Guildhall Square and S-Club confirmed as the headline act. For more information visit www.southamptonpride.org
This year is incredibly exciting for us – you’ll have seen the colourful steps outside Carnival House that were installed for June Pride Month and also to announce Cunard and P&O Cruises’ three-year partnership commitment with Southampton Pride organisation. As Headline Sponsors, this provides us so much more opportunity to grow our presence at the event.
If you’d like to be part of the day, we’re looking for people to join our Pride Squad!

You’re welcome for the whole day or one of the time slots below:
– Set Up (7:00-11:00)
– Early Event Support (11:00-14:00)
– Parade Participation – families can participate too (13:30-15:30)
– Afternoon Event Support (14:00-17:30)
There’ll be Pride Squad briefings during August and all Pride Squad members will receive an exclusive Pride Pack, plus a branded t-shirt to wear on the day.
Interested? Register your interest here by 13 August.
