Lancashire Cricket to host Club’s first-ever Pride Fixture
Pride Day - celebrating inclusion in cricket
Ahead of the start of World Pride Month in June, Lancashire Cricket is pleased to announce that the Vitality Blast double header at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday 31 May will be the Club’s first-ever Pride Fixture.
As Lancashire Thunder take on The Blaze (midday), followed by Lancashire Lightning against Notts Outlaws (4pm), Lancashire Cricket will celebrate and encourage LGBTQ+ inclusion, uniting our fans and showing that cricket is a game for everyone.
Lancashire Cricket’s Pride Fixture is being held in collaboration with Gaydio – a Manchester based radio station who were the UKs first FM radio service to serve the LGBTQ+ community.
On the day, Gaydio will be providing DJs to entertain at Emirates Old Trafford’s renowned Fan Village in addition to pride themed entertainment, face painting areas and more.

“This event will mark another step on our EDI journey as a Club and we are looking forward to everything that we have planned for our supporters on the day.”
