Outcomers LGBT+ Support Service is working with Castleblayney LGBT+ and Monaghan LGBT+ to bring Castleblayney Pride to Monaghan from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 July 2026.
The weekend will create positive visibility and representation for LGBT+ people and communities, with events for adults, families and the wider community.
Outcomers is an LGBT+ support service based in Dundalk, covering the north-east of Ireland including Cavan and Monaghan. The service provides a safe and welcoming environment through a drop-in centre, social events, a helpline, befriending support, health education workshops, resources and training for organisations.
Castleblayney Pride builds on this work by creating welcoming local spaces where people can connect, celebrate Pride and support inclusion.
