Brighton Pride

Brighton & Hove Pride celebrates its 35th anniversary across the bank holiday weekend of 1 to 3 August 2026, under this year's theme The Power Of Love. The Community Parade kicks off Saturday from Hove Lawns, winding up West Street and through Queens Road, North Road and London Road before delivering the crowds to Preston Park, where Pride on the Park takes over for two days of main stage action. Expect more than 300,000 people on the seafront and city centre across the weekend, with Brighton's Kemptown bringing the volume on Marine Parade.

RAYE headlines Saturday at Preston Park, with Diana Ross closing Sunday in a UK live exclusive, Diana's Brighton Pride debut. Also on the bill across both days, RuPaul DJ Set, Jessie J, Self Esteem, FIVE, Holly Johnson, Mel C, Paris Hilton, Leigh-Anne, G FLIP, Bimini, The Blessed Madonna and Hannah Wants among many more across the cabaret tents, Queer Town, the BAME stage and dance arenas. The Pride Village Party fills St James's Street and Marine Parade across both days as one of the UK's largest LGBTQ+ street parties.

The parade is free to watch from the streets. Pride on the Park and the Village Party are ticketed via the official Brighton & Hove Pride site, with weekend, day and Village Party wristbands available. Public transport is strongly recommended, parking around Preston Park is extremely limited.
