Bristol Pride Placard Making Day at IC Visual Labs

A event on Sunday 5th July. The event starts at 11:00.


Your voice matters. Drop in and get creative ahead of the Bristol Pride march.

This relaxed community workshop is a space to make your own placard, sign, banner or badge to take with you on Pride Day. In a moment when rights, visibility and representation are under pressure, it’s a chance to come together, make something with your hands, and put what you feel into the world.

Come as you are. Bring an idea, respond to prompts, or simply spend time alongside others making something that feels true. Your message might be joyful, political, personal, playful, angry, loving, funny or full of feeling. There is no single message and no right way to take part.

We hope to bring together different voices, hopes, demands and expressions of Pride.

Materials and tools will be provided, so there is no cost to take part and no need to bring anything.

Grab a cuppa and slice of cake. Refreshments and snacks will be available, so you’re welcome to stay, relax, chat and spend time in the space.

We’re also gathering materials through the community and welcome contributions. If you have larger amounts of material to contribute, please get in touch at [email protected] ahead of time. Otherwise, you’re welcome to bring along what you can on the day.

You’ll also be able to find out more about Bristol Pride, the 2026 programme and ways to support the charity.
