Festival organisers say the community has faced "unprecedented levels of hate and abuse" this year.

Laois Pride organisers are assuring members of the LGBTQ+ community it's a safe event for all.

The committee says members of the community have received "unprecedented levels of hate and abuse" this year, but the event remains a safe space.

Festivities get underway from Monday until Saturday, with the Parade happening on the final day.

Fundraising Co-Ordinator for Laois Pride, Rosie Palmer, says it's important we have an inclusive society:

Among the events happening at this year's Laois Pride is a screening of All of Us Strangers, which stars Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.

That gets underway in the Dunamaise Arts Centre on Wednesday evening at 8pm.

The annual Pride Parade takes place on Saturday at 12pm, which will be followed by a Fun Day and a Block Party that same evening.
