Where Can I Get A Drink or A Bite To Eat?
Stirling Pride does not bring in food and drink stalls as the event is surrounded by brilliant cafes, restaurants and bars. Two of our venues, The Albert Halls and Golden Lion Hotel will have their cafe bars open for anyone needing a bite to eat or a drink. These will be open all afternoon for you to enjoy.
How Do I Get To Stirling Pride?
Stirling Pride takes place in Stirling City Centre. Stirling Train Station and Bus Station is around a 5minute walk from the Main Stage. We expect the event to be very busy so we encourage attendees to come by public transport or active travel wherever possible. If you have to come by car, there is disabled parking available on street nearby, with public car parks at Wellgreen, Dalgleish Court and the Thistles Shopping Centre.
