WHITE RIBBON DAY - Wednesday 25th November
King Street Market
25
November 2026
This November we’ll be supporting the White Ribbon Day campaign, It Takes All of Us, which raises awareness and aims to prevent gender-based violence.
Scan the QR code to find out more about the campaign, or pop down to see Bridlington Town Council at King Street market on White Ribbon Day (Wednesday 25 November). We’ll be there from 9am-2pm.
This year’s campaign focuses on challenging everyday sexism rather than accepting jokes or banter that goes too far. If nobody challenges it, nothing changes.
Bridlington Town Council is proud to be a White Ribbon Day supporter organisation.
