Cath Corkill, of Drop Zone Youth Projects said the event was to 'celebrate inclusion' across 'all our communities'.
She said: "Our drag queen, Novegena, will be hosting, and it will be an amazing day.
"We have 14 stalls, all offering information, advice and support and 12 performers."
The event is organised by Drop Zone and is funded by the organisation, local businesses and events they have held in the last months.
Cath said: "We are an inclusive organisation that supports and promotes people's identity and choices.
"After last year's event, we received funding from the Heritage Lottery to train and educate young people, schools, organisations and businesses about LGBTQ+ awareness.
"We are dedicated to bringing all communities together to make our area more accepting of everyone who lives and travels here.
