The Rainbow Bar

28/09/2026

Hey all, Beck & Keels here.. well..what a journey!!

We never imagined we could create such a fabulous business where we could be our true, authentic selves, have sooo much fun and be visible as part of the LGBTQ+ community.

We are so grateful to our amazing girlfriends Adele Shepherd and Kelly Deville, the Legend Tyler Davies who we could not have done without, our hero Dave (Daisy) Heard and the gorgeous Frankie Dickson, and everyone who believed in us. 🥰
The Rainbow Bar helped us provide a safe space for everyone to feel themselves and we are so grateful to all who has supported us and shown so much love. ❤️

The Rainbow bar is now ready for her new chapter and we have found the most fabulous couple to carry on our legacy and do us proud and they are so excited.

They will still operating in South Wales so we really hope the local event organisers will be just as supportive as they were with us, you were all honestly so amazing and we cannot thank you enough.

This is certainly not the end for The Rainbow Bar but a fabulous new beginning.

Good luck fellas and a huge Congratulations both, we are so happy for you. James Clarke Daryl Hurst🍾🎉👏

LGBTQ+business for sale
Hi folks, we have an amazing opportunity for someone…it’s time to find new owners for The Rainbow Bar🏳️‍🌈

A very bittersweet decision for us as it’s been the best experience and we have had an amazing 3 years.

We’ve travelled around the UK trading at amazing festivals, creating a safe space for other le****ns and our LGBTQ+ family and have honestly met some truly incredible people.
We are so incredibly proud of what we created and have both now started new businesses so the time has come for someone to enjoy what we have put so much love into.

We began our mobile bar journey from nothing just a horsebox bar but for the new owners we can provide initial support, contacts, events, a set of accounts for proof of income from the business.
We have events booked in for this year and next year so guaranteed income and a great financial opportunity for someone. We can also pass you contacts of event organisers, hints, tips, branding, client base details and loads of extras to help run The Rainbow Bar. This is a turnkey business ready to start when you are, so for more details and price

Bringing your dog to Pride? 🐶🏳️‍🌈

Dogs are allowed at Pride in the Port 2026, however, we would strongly recommend that you leave your pet at home as there will be loud noises and large crowds, which may scare animals.

The details:
Dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times
Please clean up immediately if your dog fouls. Bins are located around the site
Only one dog is permitted per person
If your dog is causing a nuisance or is a threat to other visitors, you will be asked to leave
Clearly visible assistance dogs (i.e dogs wearing specialised gear like marked capes, vests, or rigid guide harnesses) will obviously be welcome
Dogs are also welcome in the parade but must be on a short lead and well behaved

Thanks for helping us keep Pride safe + welcoming for everyone 💜
