East Coast Pride's Got Talent lit up and filled The Suncastle in Skegness on Monday 20 July 2026, delivering another outstanding evening of local talent, community spirit and celebration.
Performers competed across two categories, 16 and Under and Over 17s, with the winners earning a coveted slot on the Main Stage at East Coast Pride 2026. Playing to a full room in a fabulous local hospitality venue, acts from across Lincolnshire took to the stage to win their place at the county's biggest Pride celebration.
The free entry show at The Suncastle also featured a star cabaret set from Skegness' very own Jenna G, returning Over 17 Winner, Sophie Littlewood, and East Coast Pride Performer, Just Marley.
Winners:
• Under 17 - Dede
• Over 17 – Veon Brat
Runners Up:
• Under 17 – Ava Mai
• Over 17 – Stepanie Thompson
East Coast Pride is excited to welcome Dede to perform at 12:25pm and Veon Brat to perform at 2:25pm at East Coast Pride 2026 on Saturday 12 September 2026 in Tower Gardens, Skegness.
Veon Brat, a performer known for fearless energy and fierce dance moves, takes to the Main Stage following their performance at last year's After Party, after taking the Senior title and will bring a full dance takeover to the crowd.
Amy Basker, Chairperson for East Coast Pride commented on the night: "The talent on that stage was on another level, and it grows stronger every year. It was a night full of celebration, diversity and inclusion, the room was overflowing with community spirit, and our two winners more than earned their place on the Main Stage in September."
East Coast Pride extends its thanks to all the contestants from across Lincolnshire for sharing their talent and energy. The charity would also like to thank every volunteer who supported the event, including the fabulous Diana B-Tease who hosted the evening free of charge.
