Warwickshire Pride was held for the first time in August 2013.^[1] In 2025 the County Council introduced a policy of only flying the county, Union and St George's Flag outside the council's Shire Hall headquarters, unless special permission is granted by the council chairman. This ended the flying of the Pride Progress flag ^[2].
