The theme for this year's parade, which begins at 11am along the sea front up to Preston Park, is #FreedomToLive.


As always the Preston park event is the flagship of Brighton Pride, and this year there are a few changes to the programme, compared to last year, including the inclusion of the Q Alternative Stage featuring Republica and Lucy Spraggan.

Confirmed for the main stage are: the ever handsome boy band Blue, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, the poptastic Neon Jungle, disco legend Martha Wash and the divine singer songwriter Heather Peace.

Alongside these great music acts, there are a number of party & community tents in the park including The Wild Fruit Dance Tent, Legends Cabaret tent, Girls Dance big tent, Calabash Tent, Men's Area / Bears Tent, Funfair, the Literature tent, Community Village with over 20 community stalls along side Lunch Positive cafe, Mind Out and the new Access tent delivered by the Community safety forum, all combining to deliver a proud day out like no other.  

All the information about the Village Party is available here. With a massive area around St James Street closed off to cars, what safer, more affordable way is there to enjoy Brighton Pride after the parade?

For the first time ever, Brighton and Hove Council have allowed the Pride Village Party to extend to the seafront road. Marine Parade will be closed to traffic for the event, creating a larger Pride Village Party for everyone to enjoy.

The Pride Village Party* takes place from 6pm on Saturday 2nd August and extends until 12.30am after the Preston Park festival.

Pledge bands or residents access bands will be required for entry to secure zone during village party hours and to purchase alcohol in venues and outlets on Saturday 2nd August 4pm - 12.30am and Sunday 3rd August 2pm - 8pm.

*No Alcohol can be brought into the secure zone during Village party hours.

Our advice - get your tickets in advance to get the quickest entry into the Park.
