Leicester Pride
Leicester Pride is Leicester’s annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBTQ+) festival, held at the beginning of September each year.
The event is free to attend and celebrates equality and diversity in our community. Leicester Pride is a family event with entertainment and attractions suitable for all ages. The event starts at 12 noon with a parade through the city centre leading to the festival site on Victoria Park.
The event has been running under the current team since 2009 and has grown from a small event based in the city to a full scale festival at Victoria Park.
Birmingham Pride
Birmingham Pride held its first event back in 1997. Pride has become one of the most important LGBTQ+ festivals in the UK attracting in excess of 40,000 people over the course of the weekend to the festival site in the heart of the LGBTQ+ village and over 75,000 participating in or watching our annual pride parade through the streets of Birmingham.
The Birmingham Pride festival will be held over the weekend of Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September 2022.
