Pride Village Party (PVP) which takes place in St James’s Street each year over Pride weekend. The PVP has been happening in and around the St James’s Street area for many years. Up until 2015 the event was not organised officially by either the council or Pride itself. Instead, visitors independently congregated in the area, attracted by the LGBTQ+ bars and clubs that exist there. Since 2015, Pride organisers have managed the PVP and have put resources in place to manage the disruption to local people including additional security personnel, street cleaning and toilets. It is now a ticketed event limited to certain parts of St James’s Street and neighbouring roads.
