Norwich Pride

Norwich Pride returns on Saturday 25 July 2026 for its 18th year, with the Pride March leaving City Hall at 1pm carrying the giant Trans and Rainbow Pride flags through the streets of Norwich. The parade traditionally moves from City Hall to Chapelfield Gardens, with The Forum hosting the Community Hub where LGBTQIA+ charities, community groups and organisations come together across the day. Norwich Pride started in 2009 with around 3,000 attendees and has grown to draw an estimated 10,000-plus to the city centre.

Norwich Pride is a registered charity (1184491) and is committed to keeping the parade and main events free, inclusive, accessible and family-friendly. Expect community stalls, live music, family activity, drag and the strong sense of solidarity that has run through the event since its founding under the slogan "let's turn Norwich into a rainbow." The 2026 line-up has not yet been confirmed by the organisers. The wider weekend programme typically includes events at venues across the city centre, with the multi-faith service at St Peter Mancroft Church and other partner activities a long-standing part of the day.

Norwich Pride is free entry. Donations and supporter contributions help keep the event accessible. The 2026 stallholder and event pack is open for businesses, artists, makers, food vendors, charities and grassroots groups wanting to take part. Check the Norwich Pride website for the confirmed parade route, full programme and accessibility info.
