Coventry Pride (Saturday)

Coventry Pride 2026 takes place across Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, two vibrant days bringing the city centre alive for one of the West Midlands' leading Pride events. The parade traditionally begins at Greyfriars Green and ends at University Square, with festival activity spreading across central Coventry venues over the weekend. Coventry Pride is run by a registered charity (1164035) and an entirely volunteer-led team with year-round LGBT+ projects across the city.

The weekend programme combines the parade with stages, community stalls, family activity and partner venues running their own Pride events across the city. Past Prides have used FarGo Village (the city's creative quarter and a year-round LGBTQ+-friendly space) as a hub. The 2026 line-up has not yet been confirmed by the organisers. The Yard Coventry, the city's award-winning LGBTQ+ bar and nightclub with over 50 awards, is at the heart of the city's queer scene and runs Pride programming across the weekend.

Coventry Pride is free entry. The event is funded through donations, sponsorship and volunteer effort, with every penny supporting Coventry Pride and LGBT+ projects across the city. Coventry Trans Pride is a separate, focused event run later in the year. Check the Coventry Pride website for the confirmed parade route, full line-up and accessibility info.
