Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 August 2026

If you’re planning one standout LGBTQ+ event in the UK, this is one that many people build their entire summer around. Brighton Pride takes over the city across a full weekend, with a glorious parade weaving from the seafront through the streets, live music in Preston Park, and the Pride Village Party lighting up Kemptown late into the night. It’s big, bold and brilliantly organised, but what really stays with you is the atmosphere, with thousands of people turning up as themselves, celebrating proudly and unapologetically. Go for the headline acts and the spectacle, stay for the feeling of community and camaraderie.
