The Rainbow Train returns to the East Lancashire Railway, an event hosted by the Bury LGBTQI+ Forum.
Join the Bury LGBTQI+ Forum for the return of the Rainbow Train this April, bringing colour, pride and queer joy back to the tracks for another unforgettable journey.
Departing from Bolton Street Station, Bury, our vintage rainbow-themed steam train will travel to Rawtenstall and back again, delivering a two-hour celebration packed with LGBTQI+ performances, music and pure Pride energy.
This year, the House of Bridget Queens will once again be joined by the brilliant Bury Fire Choir, performing a selection of Pride anthems on the platform at Bolton Street before departure. After their hugely popular appearances at previous Pride events, they’re thrilled to be returning.
At the Rawtenstall stop, audiences will be treated to a live performance, and back in Bury there will be even more entertainment.
Funds raised will go to the our efforts of fundraising that keep Bury Pride and the Bury LGBTQI+ Forum running each year.
