Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender centre is relaunched
A meeting place for Leicester's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is being relaunched to raise awareness of its services.
The LGBT centre, in Wellington Street, in the city centre, is hosting an event today from 1pm to help raise its profile.
Stilt-walkers and drag queens will be on hand to meet and greet visitors at the newly-refurbished bar and function room at the centre.
Food and drink have been supplied by the Rainbow and Dove pub, in Charles Street.
Martyn Parker, trustee at the centre and chairman of the Leicester Pride festival, said: "Pride has always been well supported, but the centre itself has remained more in the background.
"We're hoping to change that, though, and the event is all about raising the profile.
"We've invited lots of people, including city councillors and city mayor Peter Soulsby, we're expecting a good turnout."
The event runs from 1pm until 6pm.
