Peterborough Pride Key Theatre

Waiting for the start of the parade.

Peterborough Pride started four years ago when it found LGBTQ+ people in the city received the highest level of homophobic abuse on-line. More than any other place in the country.

Argo Lounge Peterborough

Argo Lounge Peterborough, I like this chain, I am not sure I would have the chocolate milk shake again, nothing special and not much for the price. The All Day Vegetarian Breakfast was fine.

If you were in a hurry then not the place to eat. Good Staff.

Old Westgate Church Peterborough

Peterborough Portuguese Seventh-day Adventist Church,

Peterborough Cambridgeshire, Old Westgate Church although the church is now open, photography of the inside is not permitted I am guessing that is because they current owners don't want many to see they have destroyed the original interior of this old church. The chancels traditional look has been replaced with something that looks like a white Ikea tiled kitchen this includes the covering up of the original west window. The Methodist and United Reformed Church moved into the community centre behind it and renamed as the Westgate New Church in 2016 when they sold the old church to Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) In 2017 the UCKG faced allegations of adopting children in Portugal and taking them abroad illegally. It has also been accused of cult-like illegal activities and corruption, including money laundering, charlatanism, and witchcraft, as well as intolerance towards other religions. There have also been accusations that the church extracts money from poor members for the benefit of its leaders In 2000, a London-based UCKG pastor arranged an exorcism which resulted in the death of a child and the conviction of her guardians of murder. The UCKG has been subject to bans in several African countries.
