More Information (Gaydio — The UK's LGBTQ+ Radio Station is not responsible for external websites)

Bedford Pride takes place on Saturday 5 September 2026, the Bedfordshire county town's annual LGBTQ+ celebration. The parade traditionally moves through Bedford town centre, with the main festival site hosting stages, community stalls, family programming and food and drink across the day. Bedford Pride brings together LGBTQ+ communities from across Bedfordshire, the wider East of England and the M1 corridor.

The 2026 line-up has not yet been confirmed by the organisers. Bedford's compact town centre, the Embankment along the River Great Ouse and the surrounding bars and venues run their own Pride programming around the festival, with the wider Beds, Bucks and North Hertfordshire LGBTQ+ scene contributing across the day. Bedford Pride sits within the wider East of England Pride calendar alongside Cambridge, Peterborough and the Hertfordshire Pride events.

Bedford Pride is free to attend. Donations and sponsorship help keep the event running. Check the Bedford Pride channels for the confirmed parade route, full line-up and accessibility info.
