Newcastle: Newcastle Pride 19th July

Newcastle Pride is set to return for a city-wide takeover this summer, following the success of last year’s transformative event​​. We've announced some big changes which we believe will make this year’s event even better.

New venues are on board to amplify the city take over. First up is the iconic Theatre Royal which will place host to the incredibly popular Family and Youth Zone. Whilst independent theatre, Alphabetti, will support the delivery of a new zone. The Trans+ Zone will provide a safe, celebratory, and empowering area for the region’s trans and non-binary community.

In 2024, over 16,500 people marched with us, weaving through the city, down the iconic Northumberland Street and passed the historic Grey’s Monument.

The city becomes awash with all the colours of the rainbow.

LEEDS: Leeds Pride - The biggest celebration of LGBTQ+ life in Yorkshire 20th July

 
Welcome to Leeds Pride, the biggest celebration of LGBTQ+ life in Yorkshire!

Leeds Pride is one of the biggest one-day festivals in Leeds City Centre! It has undoubtedly become a huge contributor to the local economy with over 70,000 choosing to visit last year, and attendance numbers are growing every year!

Each year, the colourful parade kicks off at Millennium Square, winding its way through the city streets and culminating on Lower Briggate by The Calls, where the festivities begin. 

The parade is not only a celebration of pride and solidarity, but also a significant economic driver, contributing an estimated £3.8 million to the city centre. 

Last year saw the biggest ever parade with over 167 organisations in attendance throughout the day. Leeds Pride now attracts people from all over the UK and overseas, whilst still remaining free for all to attend

The Singleton Gala is back and ready to bring the village together for a fantastic day of fun and games on Sunday 15 June.

The highlight of the event is the traditional procession through the village, which will begin at 1pm sharp.

This year’s gala promises a packed schedule of activities, entertainment and celebrations for the whole family.

The day will feature a colourful procession including the Rose Queens, Prince Charming and their retinues, the Britannia, the Accrington Pipe Band, clog dancers, vintage and military vehicles, and fancy dress participants.

Following the procession there will be the Rose Queen Crowning Ceremony and traditional maypole dancing.

Attendees can enjoy a fancy dress competition with various categories, including a special one dedicated to celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day. There will also be a canine category for dogs dressed in costume.

The Great Singleton Bake Off returns with this year’s theme celebrating VE Day, inviting bakers to create delicious treats.

For children, there will be inflatables to climb and bounce on, face painting, superhero appearances, and a children’s entertainer to keep the little ones entertained.

Food and drink options include craft ales, wines, spirits, cocktails, pizza, and coffee trailers, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Due to the gala procession and events, the roads and carpark at the Village Hall will be closed from 12pm. Parking will be available at the field beside the Millers Pub.

Roads along the procession route will be closed from mid-morning until late afternoon to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.

Drivers are advised to plan alternative routes and expect delays in and around the village throughout the afternoon.

Parking for Singleton Gala 2025 will be available at designated areas around the village. Organisers recommend arriving early to secure a spot, as spaces may fill up quickly. Where possible, consider carpooling or using local public transport to ease congestion on the day.
