Brighton & Hove Pride 2025, what a year! You took to the streets with chants of protest and cheers of celebration, making our community PROUD. We saw an unforgettable weekend of over 250 LGBTQ+ artists over at Pride On The Park, featuring Mariah Carey sporting a custom 'Protect The Dolls' jacket and a set of non-stop hits from the beautiful Sugababes. Thank you to all the talent across every stage, you showed UP for this city and really put on a show! With that said, we're always looking to improve your experience across the weekend and understand and fully recognise that we had various issues, including getting people into the venues in a timely manner on Saturday. We hear you. Your voices matter to us and we'd encourage you to follow the link on our website to give your feedback on the event - this is how change happens. A final thank you to those working to keep you safe across the city, the staff, the volunteers, all the venues, and most of all to YOU! Year in, year out you show up for this community, whether you're part of it or an ally, thank you. Conversations are already in motion for 2026 and how we can make it the best year yet for you - we can't wait to see you there! "After every storm, if you look hard enough, a rainbow appears" - Mariah Carey #BrightonPride# 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We are very sorry for the delays to entry to Pride on the Park and Pride Street Party on Saturday, and apologise for the longer than expected wait times. We thank everyone for their patience on such a busy day. We’ve made changes to today’s queue arrangements to improve entry to the sites and we look forward to welcoming everyone later on. We have listened to all your feedback and we will also be fully reviewing after the event to improve further for future years. We know we must do better. #BrightonPride#

We are busy this afternoon at Pride on the Park and Pride Street Party. We have queues to come in at both venues. We're managing the queues as quickly as possible. If you are waiting, please be patient and stay hydrated. #BrightonPride#

SISTER SLEDGE!! We couldn’t contain our excitement when they stepped on stage - this is a moment which will go down in Brighton Pride history! ❤️☀️ @SisterSledge_ #BrightonPride#

Ravishing Rage! Protest, but with sequins 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ "Protest and celebration" seem like two opposite forces, but they often go hand in hand. Throughout history, movements for change have been driven by both resistance and joy - protest as a way to challenge oppression, and celebration as a way to affirm identity and culture. Thank you for joining us today.

If you have a Pride Street Party ticket, go straight to the main gate on Marine Parade after 2pm to join the party. You do not need to exchange your ticket for a wristband this year. There are also no resident wristbands as the location of the party has moved to the seafront.
