Pride in Brighton & Hove has launched a brand new website in keeping with the theme of this year's Summer Pride event: The Musicals. Design, development, hosting and maintenance of the new site has been donated by Real City Network, the company behind REALBrighton.com - Brighton's favourite online nightlife and gay scene guide.

As well as the site itself, Real City Network has provided a wealth of tools and features to enable Pride to update the content quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the information on the site is always up to date.

Site visitors can find the latest news and details of events running up to and during the nine day festival. Interactive maps help supporters find all fundraising events easily, and the site will provides up to date information on the Parade, the Park and all official Pride after parties as they are confirmed, as well as information on joining Pride.

Galleries for the site are linked to REALBrighton's archive of Pride photographs spanning the last six years and giving a unique take on the progress of the festival during that time.REALBrighton are once again Pride's official photographers this year and will be out there snapping photos for the site and for the Pride in Pictures souvenir guide.

The new website looks fantastic and linking in toREALBrighton's listings, interactive maps and their huge photoarchive will keep our site fresh and informative."
