We are thrilled to announce Ash Palmisciano will Co-Host and meet and greet guests at Pride in Hull 2023.
Our organising team of volunteers are thrilled to announce the appearance of actor, speaker, and presenter Ash Palmisciano as a co-host for Pride in Hull on 29th July 2023 at the city’s annual celebration of diversity and acceptance.
Ash Palmisciano has significantly impacted the entertainment industry through his groundbreaking portrayal of Matty Barton, the first transgender character in ITV’s renowned soap Emmerdale. With his remarkable talent, Ash has brought authenticity to the screen and raised awareness and understanding of transgender experiences.
Beyond his acting career, Ash passionately advocates diversity and inclusion. As a patron of Diversity Role Models, he actively supports their mission of promoting positive LGBTQ+ role models in schools and communities. Ash has also shared his inspiring insights on platforms like TEDx with his talk titled “Why Your Truth Is Your Superpower,” which can be found on YouTube.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the occasion, Ash Palmisciano says: ”I’ve always heard good things about Hull, but I haven’t had the opportunity to spend much time in this vibrant city. I am truly looking forward to meeting and greeting local people and joining Andy Train on stage to welcome the lineup of performers.”
The Pride in Hull 2023 team welcomes Ash with open arms, anticipating a truly inspiring co-hosting experience that will resonate with attendees and leave a lasting legacy of unity and pride in the city.
Jamie Lewis, Chair of Pride in Hull explains:
“We are delighted to welcome Ash Palmisciano as a co-host for Pride in Hull 2023. His professional talent, advocacy, and dedication to LGBTQ+ representation align perfectly with the spirit of our event. We believe that Ash’s presence will make a significant impact and further amplify the message of love, acceptance, and equality that Pride in Hull stands for.
“This year’s Pride event is very different. The team is excited that it will actually be everywhere in Hull – Access All Areas. Our main stage, for our headline act, Boney M will be Zebedees Yard, which is one of the best gig spaces we have. We are excited to bring the usual glitter, entertainment and excitement to our stage.
“It’s all happening from 12pm until 6pm on Saturday 29 July. This is a FREE event and no tickets required, the only thing we ask is you don’t bring your own alcohol, or anything that could hurt someone else.”
