Brighton Pride is held every year in Brighton, East Sussex, normally in August (but the 2012 event was on the 1st of September). The first event was held on The Level in 1992.[1]
Brighton Pride now includes a parade through the streets from the seafront, ending at Preston Park where there is a festival. The organisation running Brighton Pride in recent years (Pride Southest Limited) has been a registered charity since 2004.[2] The festival has historically been free, but it was decided to charge admission for the first time in 2011.
For 2012 Pride Southeast Limited proposed to put on only a festival and no parade, but this was rejected by the City Council.[3] Instead, the Council appointed a new company, Pride Brighton and Hove, to run the event, which will include both a parade and a festival.[4]
Brighton Winter Pride has been held in February or March since 2005.
