First Bus celebrates its Pride in York

We're going to be promoting expression, acceptance and awareness for the LGBTQ+ community in our business by taking part in York Pride parade and festival this June!


York Pride

The completely free event will be taking place on Saturday 1 June with a host of exciting activities throughout the day. The parade route begins at York Minster and will end at Knavesmire where there will be a festival site with plenty of entertainment, food and drink, plus live music!

We'll be bringing along our Pride double decker bus to be part of the parade so give us a wave when you see our rainbow in the crowd. You'll also get to see it parked up at the festival site on Knavesmire where our colleagues will have a stall with games and freebies to be won. Pop by to say hello and grab yourself a souvenir.

Visit the York Pride website to find out more information about the day.

It's important that residents and visitors can access York Pride to join in the celebrations, so we've created a discounted bus ticket especially for the day. Our Pride Day ticket is just £3.50 for unlimited travel across York throughout Saturday 1 June.
