More Information (Gaydio — The UK's LGBTQ+ Radio Station is not responsible for external websites)
Reading Pride 2026 takes place on Sunday 30 August at King's Meadow, the riverside park alongside the Thames in Reading town centre. The parade typically moves through the town centre before delivering crowds to the festival site at King's Meadow, RG1 8BN, where main stage performances, community stalls, family activity and food and drink fill the afternoon and evening.
Reading Pride is committed to keeping the parade and festival free, supported by volunteers, donations and sponsorship. The Thames Valley LGBTQ+ community comes out in force, with venues across the town centre running their own Pride programming through the weekend. The 2026 line-up has not yet been confirmed by the organisers, with announcements expected closer to the date. Expect a programme that mixes main-stage live music, drag and cabaret, with a strong family-friendly element through the day.
The parade and festival are free entry. Donations on the day help keep the event accessible. Check the Reading Pride website for the latest line-up, programme, parade route and accessibility info.
