‘A huge congratulations and thank you to all the 1879 team
for all the hard work and dedication you put in to this year’s
Newcastle Pride. Your planning was second to none, and the
change of site the week before the event, did not phase you.
The management and communication from the top down
was excellent and your creative ideas really added an extra
element to the event. We look forward to working with you
in the near future.’
Peter Darrant – Chair
Northern Pride
The 1879 team were fantastic. I’ve seen a few events set up at
The Bridges now but none as slick and professional as that.
The food was also excellent, as was the service.”
