Pride in London 2016

On Saturday 25th June, we invite you to join us for our 6th annual walk through the streets of London in full fetish gear.

This year, we are being joined by Pup Social, Pups@Play, Mr Puppy UK, Pups of the North, and hopefully you!

Check out pictures from the last five years on Dropbox to see what the group has been like in the past. We have doubled in numbers every year, and hope to do so again.

On the Day

This year we will have a venue with a changing area so you can safely get into your gear before the Parade. Details to come on this later!

Otherwise we will be meeting at Baker Street/George Street for the parade at 12:30 and setting off at 1pm. We'll then walk down Oxford street, Regent Street, past Trafalgar Square and onto Whitehall where we'll take our annual group photo. We should finish at about 3:30pm.

After the Parade, we will go back to the venue, where there will be drinks and a buffet lunch!

We also plan to have a dinner on the previous night. More details to come.

Dress Code

Full gear is preferred but not required. All we ask is that you make an effort.

Pups are strongly advised to wear kneepads and gloves/mitts for their own comfort and safety.

Do NOT wear plug tails. Do NOT wear backless underwear if you're going to be on all fours. We have been warned about this and don't want to risk being banned from the Parade.

Rules

Introduce yourself to me (Kye) when you arrive. I am legally liable for everyone in the group, so I need to know who you are and if you have any medical conditions.

Bring water and any medication you might need.

Stay behind the lead pup at all times on the walk, and leave a distance of at least 2 metres from the group in front.

As we aren't classified as a commercial walking group, handouts, banners, etc, are prohibited. This is because we are register as a community group and not a business. If we break the rules we risk being reclassified and pay 10 times as much to enter the Parade next year!

If you want to wave Leather Puppy Pride Flag (the stripy one with a bone) then we request that you stay at the back of the walking group at all times while waving it. This is because people get greatly upset when all the photos of them online has them covered by flags. And we all know pups love being in photos!

For more important information, see the event listing for London Pride 2016.

Photography

By attending the march with the Puppy Pride walking group you grant us full rights to use any images of yourself both on our website and for marketing purposes. Be these images taken by our photographers, from other members of the walking group, or from the public domain.

We will be sharing many of the images via Dropbox in the days following the Parade. If you find any after the event which are not on there please remember to forward them to me so that they can be added!

To find out more and confirm your attendance, check out the official event listing on Puppy Pride.

See you all soon, Kye

Bristol Photoshoot!

There will be a photoshoot in Bristol on Saturday 20th February. We will be starting in a central town location before going for a walk around Bristol. If you want to take part, please email [email protected]

Pup Out is a new FREE event where you can do just that - pup out and play in a safe and friendly environment.

The event will feature a large padded floor area to play in, puppy themed treats, and a ball pit.
