List of Prides
From LGBT Archive
This is a List of Pride festivals held around the UK, in order of starting year (where known). It attempts to include all LGBT Pride festivals, whether called "Gay Pride", "LGBT Pride" or just "Pride" (or by other names such as "Mardi Gras").
- This is an incomplete list: your help is needed to complete it.
Pride events were cancelled in 2020 and most were also cancelled in 2021 due mainly to covid restrictions.
