The social is scheduled to start at 6.30pm.
Organiser, Charlotte Skardon, is hoping the event will act as a confidence booster for those to attend the main Pride event next Saturday, which starts with a procession from the Meadows at 12pm.
Charlotte said: ‘We currently have one room booked at Church Lane and we’ve had good interest so far. I already have activities lined up for the evening. I hope this event will be really useful for those who want to go to Pride on July 1 but perhaps feel like they couldn’t go alone. They might meet someone here to go with; I understand it can be daunting if you’re not with friends or a group of people.’
Charlotte now hopes to run events on a monthly basis, with other more family-friendly suited events such as picnics in the park as an alternative to holding them at bars, restaurants and/or social clubs.
Charlotte added: ‘This is all about building a community and a vibe. Fundamentally, we want to provide a safe space which is accessible for everyone. Tavistock has traditionally been viewed as quite a conservative place, however it has proved itself to be fundamentally welcoming, as Pride last year demonstrated.’
