Pride Canterbury may have been cancelled for this year but it still has a tale to tell.

So a special exhibition being held at the Beaney in Canterbury is helping it tell it, in all its colourful glory.

The exhibition provides a Pride experience through photographs, film and other features instead with exclusive Pride items and highlights of previous pride events playing on a big screen.

Visitors can uncover the behind the scenes story of host Delilah Tickles and follow the rainbow road to learn about Stonewall, the origin of Prides and the history of drag.

People can also leave their messages of hope via the interactive exhibit.

Canterbury City Council leader Cllr Rob Thomas said: "We were all really disappointed that this year's Pride celebration couldn't happen, but this exhibition is an excellent way to fill the void.

"We hope everyone will come along and discover the story of Pride, from its origins all the way through to its importance today. Pride Canterbury is the family Pride, full of fun and love, and this wonderful exhibition replicates it on every level.

"Sadly, though, we know discrimination still exists, so while we hope you have fun during your visit, there is a serious message as to why we have Pride and the community must continue to work towards inclusivity and equality."

The exhibition has been put together by Pride Canterbury with the support of the team at the Beaney and Canterbury City Council and is sponsored by Canterbury Christ Church University and Canterbury Business Improvement District, with support from Kent Community Foundation and the government's Coronavirus Community Support Fund.

It will run in the Special Exhibitions Gallery until Wednesday, September 9 (but is closed on Mondays). Entrance is free though donations are encouraged.
