Brighton & Hove Pride confirms summer live dates

Brighton & Hove Pride has been confirmed for August 6-8 – in light of the lockdown easing.

A spokesman said: “Following the news of the UK government's roadmap for the lifting of social distancing rules on June 21, we are thrilled to announce that the planned 30th anniversary celebrations for Brighton & Hove Pride will now go ahead on August 6–8 2021.

“Pride is a hugely important event for our city and community groups, and we are regularly reviewing our planning by working with strategic partners and Brighton & Hove City Council and following government guidelines, so if you plan to attend Pride this year we advise early booking as demand is already high and we may need to limit or amend capacities.

“Over 20,000 early bird and first release tickets had already sold in 2020 and we’d like to thank everyone who rolled over their tickets to 2021. Existing ticket holders don’t need to do anything as your tickets are already valid.

“Second release tickets for Fabuloso! Pride In The Park are on sale.

“We are thrilled to announce that planning for Brighton & Hove Pride, the UK’s biggest Pride Festival, is well underway and summer 2021 is set to be Fabuloso!

“Brighton and Hove Pride is the UK’s biggest Pride Festival operated by Brighton Pride CIC, a not for profit community interest company. All tickets revenue raised goes directly to the operational and running costs of producing the Pride Festival, LGBTQ+ Pride Community Parade, Pride Village Party and community fundraising for the Rainbow Fund and Pride Social Impact Fund.
