A MAN was left fuming after he and two disabled relatives were confined to a “boiling hot tent” with no view of the stage during Kylie Minogue’s Pride performance.

Liam Hackett took to social media to share his anger as he and his mother, who is an amputee, and his terminally ill grandmother missed the pop star’s headline show.

He said: “I am here with my mum and my gorgeous grandma who is in a wheelchair and my mum has her prosthetic leg on.

“Unfortunately they (Pride organisers) are not letting us out of this tent because apparently there are no free seats.

“Kylie is about to come on, the stage is right behind me and I can’t see a thing.

“There are probably about ten or 15 people with us in this boiling hot tent.”

Three quarters of the way through the set he posted an update in a video on Twitter.

He said: “There are probably about 30 or 40 seats free here but they won’t give us access.

“They are now saying those seats are VIP and people with disabilities have to stay in this tent.

“So people with disabilities have the luxury of hearing Kylie Minogue but can they see her?”

Someone in the background of the video can be heard shouting “no”.

Liam said: "Shame on you Pride in Brighton for not having the same provisions for people with disabilities who also wanted to celebrate Pride."

Pride organisers have since released a statement apologising to those people who were affected.

A spokesman said: “We implemented a number of measures to facilitate participation of Pride-goers with accessibility requirements.

“This included creating a safe space at the front of the Pride community parade and as well providing an accessible viewing platform for the main stage at the Pride In The Park Festival, in front of the VIP seating.

“The access platform has a fixed capacity with places being issued on a first-come, first-serve basis, and was at full capacity at the time of the main performances.

“We were pleased that over 100 people were able to enjoy the main stage shows from this platform throughout the day, including many wheelchair users and their personal assistants. Not all people who applied for access support wanted access to the platform (for example people with visual impairments) and not all users were accessing the platform at the one time. At no stage were Pride-goers prevented from leaving the access tent.

“We are extremely sorry if some people were not able to access the platform later in the evening.”
