WE DON'T JUST BOOK ACTS. WE BOOK A VIBE!
Choose your stage.
Thinking about performing at Barnsley Pride? We’ve got three stages, three different vibes and plenty of opportunities to showcase your talent. Whether you’re ready to take on the main crowd, bring the cabaret chaos or keep things chilled with an acoustic set, there’s a stage for you.
Main Stage - Mandela Gardens
Big stage. Big crowd. Big Pride energy.
The Main Stage at Mandela Gardens is the centre of the action, featuring headline performances, live music, dance, community performances and some of the biggest moments of Barnsley Pride.
If you’re looking to perform to a large Pride audience and bring plenty of energy to the day, this could be your stage.
Cabaret Stage - The Garrison
Drag, cabaret, comedy, variety and everything in between.
The Cabaret Stage at The Garrison is where performers can let their personality shine. From drag queens and kings to cabaret artists, comedians, performers and wonderfully unexpected acts, this stage is all about entertainment.
If your performance has sass, sparkle, humour or a little bit of chaos, we want to hear from you!
Acoustic Stage - Barnsley Civic
Great music. A more intimate setting. Same Pride spirit.
The Acoustic Stage at Barnsley Civic provides a more relaxed environment for acoustic musicians, singers, duos and stripped-back performances.
It’s the perfect place to showcase your vocals, songwriting and musical talent in a more intimate setting while still being part of the Barnsley Pride celebrations.
Which stage is right for you?
When you apply, think about your style, your performance and the audience you want to entertain. Our team will consider your application and work with you to determine the most suitable stage for your act.
Three stages. Three vibes. One incredible Pride.
Bring your talent. Bring your personality. Bring the Barnsley Pride.
