Cairngorms Pride
Social Spaces Events

This is the space to find out all about our forthcoming Cairngorms Pride partner events in and around the Park from Spring 2026. As more venues and spaces join our Social Spaces Network, we hope to see a variety of get togethers, activities and interesting stuff to connect up our LGBTQ+ and ally communities.

Collaborate
with us

Our projects are made possible through partnerships and collaborations with like-minded people and organisations. The Park's geographical layout means it can be harder to connect up, so we're here to help change that.

Get in touch with us if you have connections within the National Park area, and you have an idea for working with us to support our local LGBTQ+ and ally communities.
