From 3–6pm there’s plenty to do including an ice cream van, outdoor sports, an inflatable rodeo bull, pie the exec, plus giant Connect 4, and Jenga.
From 5–10pm the live music kicks in and runs through the evening. There's a DJ in the Common Room from 9pm till 11pm.
Once that wraps up, the night’s not over - there’s an after party in Generations to keep things going.

🌈 This Pride Month, you can help Lancaster students thrive – exactly as they are. 🌈
For many students, university can be a place of growth, community, and self-discovery. Your support can help ensure every student has the chance to belong, succeed, and feel empowered at Lancaster by providing bursaries, mental health services and opportunities to the students who need it most through the Opportunity Fund.

This June, we’re celebrating pride, inclusion, and the power of community. If Lancaster made a difference in your life, consider paying it forward to the next generation of students.
