The Warwickshire Pride Festival is returning to this August (2026).

The event is set to be a colourful celebration of LGBTQ+ life and culture and aims to highlight the injustices faced by LGBTQ+ communities locally, nationally and around the world.

This year's festival will take place in Leamington Spa on Saturday, 22 August, with marchers assembling on Beauchamp Road for an 11am start.

The day will begin with a Pride march through the town, followed by the main celebration at the Pump Room Gardens, until 6pm.

Attendees can look forward to stalls, a wide variety of food and drink vendors and live performances.

While the festival aims to bring the community together, it has faced some backlash in previous years.

In the early hours of last year's festival, Warwickshire Pride was forced to issue its annual statement of defiance as its festival site was vandalised once again.

The charity had to conduct repairs due to damages inflicted by vandals who have also targeted the decorations and tents ahead of Warwickshire Pride in past years.
