A former member of the Pussycat Dolls pop group is to perform at Crawley Pride.

Kimberly Wyatt is one of several performers in store at the LGBT+ ticketed event at Goffs Park on Saturday.

There will also be a parade starting at Crawley's memorial gardens from 11:00 BST.

Organisers said they aim to raise awareness of the issues facing the LGBT+ community and "promote Crawley as a safe place."

The ticketed pride festival takes place between 11:00 BST and 22:00.

It will include a photo booth, stalls, family area, fairground, food, silent disco and trans safe space.

"We want to create a sense of belonging and identity," they said.

Tickets are available in advance and on the door.
