Pride Festival 2024 | Warwickshire Pride

The Warwickshire Pride festival is a colourful celebration of LGBT+ life and culture. It also highlights the injustices that LGBT+ people still face locally, nationally and around the world. Pride started as a protest and Warwickshire Pride is an event rooted in that protest.

Of course, it does have lots of fabulous things happening too. You can expect a Pride March, a rainbow marketplace of stalls, live performances and entertainment on stage throughout the day, food and drink from around the world, fairground rides, a trans chillout zone, bi zone, youth tent, women’s tent, a quiet zone, dog show, family area and much more.

The next Warwickshire Pride festival is taking place on Saturday 17th August 2024, 11:00-18:00 at the Pump Room Gardens in Leamington Spa.
