The Bear Hotel in Cowbridge hosted a special LGBTQ+ Fashion Show yesterday as part of Cowbridge Pride.

Featuring 40 'diverse and inclusive' models, the fashion show showcased the 'best in Cowbridge fashion' from shops across the town, including Jon Ian, Tallia, Colours of Cowbridge, Visage and King Fox Menswear

Ian H Watkins, organiser of Cowbridge Pride, says:

"Today's LGBTQ+ Fashion Show was incredible!

"Thank you so much to our diverse and inclusive group of 40 models who killed it! We're so proud! Another smash for Cowbridge Pride and our community! 

"Cowbridge Pride will include a month of celebrations, activities & fundraisers.

"All of the money raised will be used directly in schools for LGBTQI+ resources for pupils and teachers. 

"Our mission is to support LGBTQ+ people, families & allies to lead empowered, fulfilled & authentic lives. 

"Times have changed, but there is still work to do. Everyone has the right to be their authentic self."
