In just 18 days we will be holding a march down the Parade before kicking off a festival with musical acts, a dog show, funfair, and over 100 stalls.

During Pride Festival 2023, the Warwickshire Pride dog show will be held. If you wish to enter your dog, please head to the bandstand from 12:00pm to register, so the show can begin at 12:30pm.

The cost of putting on the festival has risen significantly this year. We have less sponsorship and funding, so we’ve had to prioritise putting on an inclusive, accessible festival for all to enjoy over having a headliner and after-party.
