The gallery is scheduled to be open between 10am and 4pm daily, though it will be closed on the Thursday and Saturday. The exhibition can also be viewed through the windows at all times.

The exhibition, Emma's second solo show following "It's a Nice Day for It" at the Shakespeare Gallery earlier this year, features candid, documentary-style images shot on the day of the 2025 Pride parade.

Emma said; “2025 was the first time since it started that I wasn't shooting something else, so I just took myself down to Scarborough Pride for the fun of it.

"Flags, faces, people having a good time on a Saturday, absolutely nothing planned, I just shot the joy and celebrations happening all around me."

The exhibition is being hosted with the support of Scarborough Pride, which runs the annual event and a range of other activities for the LGBTQ+ community along the coast throughout the year. This year’s Scarborough Pride is due to take place on September 12.
