The weather held out and the beer tent proved to be a huge success judging by the state that many of us came away in. We did hear a few people stating that Endcliffe Park was a bit too big for Sheffield Pride. However, considering that everyone moaned last year that it needed a bigger park then this shouldn't be a criticism.
Sheffield Pride also managed to get the city's gay population out into the city centre during the evening. Despite the fact that the official afterparty was at Sheffield Hallam University (Oh, Yes! We had plenty of emails bemoaning the fact) thegay venues report buoyant business on Saturday night. Interestingly, it seems there were large numbers of out-of-towners trying Sheffield for the first time.
As we said last year. Well done to the Sheffield Pride committee for getting off their arses and being counted. Here's to an even bigger event in 2010.
Finally. We'd like to give a special mention to the management team at Club Sanctuary who seem to be doing the impossible. Following the brief closure it was going to me a mighty job convincing people to go back to Sanctuary. However, our spies report that the new team are having a damn good go and we hear that there have been some very busy nights. As their Facebook page states... "Good Times Ahead!". We certainly hope so.
