Brighton & Hove Pride set to take place on the 7 and 8 August has been cancelled for the second year in a row.
A statement by Brighton & Hove Pride states: "We are heartbroken to have to announce the cancellation of Brighton & Hove Pride’s Community Parade, the Pride Village Party and Pride Festival on Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 August 2021.
"We know the need for community has never been stronger and Brighton & Hove Pride is one of Europe’s biggest Pride Festivals attracting thousands of people from across the UK to attend multiple events across the city including the Pride LGBTQ+ Community Parade.
"Delivering Pride requires an all year-round planning cycle working closely with our partner agencies and, while the vaccine rollout continues to be successful, the many uncertainties that need to be resolved to safely deliver mass gatherings and the complexities of organising Pride in our City are impossible to achieve in the time we have, so based on the best information available to us at this time we are heartbroken to have to cancel for a second year.
"We cannot risk the health and safety of Pride visitors, residents and the hundreds of staff and volunteers that help deliver Pride."
Meanwhile, ticket holders have three options, you can move your ticket to 2022 which the organisers say "will sell out".
You can donate the face value of your ticket to the Brighton Rainbow fund or apply for a refund.
