Essex Pride 2026 takes place on Saturday 20 June in Chelmsford, with the parade marching through the city centre and finishing at the Central Park festival site. Chelmsford's Central Park, a riverside green space alongside the River Can in the heart of the city, hosts the main festival programme of stages, community zones and family activity across the afternoon and evening.
The parade through Chelmsford city centre is a major moment in the Essex LGBTQ+ calendar, drawing community groups, organisations and allies from across the county. The 2026 line-up has not yet been confirmed. Expect main stage live music, drag and cabaret, dance area programming, community stalls and family activity, plus venues across Chelmsford running their own Pride programming through the weekend.
Essex Pride is a ticketed festival, with child, junior, adult and family tickets available via the official site. The ticketed model funds the safe delivery of the parade and festival. Check the Essex Pride website for the confirmed line-up, ticket prices and accessibility info.
