About

Bristol Pride returns from 27 June - 12 July 2026 with the main Pride Day taking place on Saturday 11 July.

Full programme and music headliners will be announced shortly.

Bristol Pride Wristbands give you fantastic rewards like money off the bars at Pride, free travel on Pride day and quicker entry via dedicated access lanes to beat the queues - wristbands on sale soon.

Bristol Pride is a walking parade. Vehicles or floats are not allowed in the parade due to the nature of the route, health and safety and to ensure Bristol Pride has the lowest environmental impact as possible. The parade will gather from 10am at the Bandstand end of Castle Park and will depart around 10.45am.

The route is 2 miles long, and will take about 1 hour to complete.

FAQs

Where can I get the shuttle bus to Bristol Pride?

You can catch the bus from The Amphitheatre (parade end) to The Downs and back from 11am - 10pm. This service is free for wristband holders or charged at a standard First Bus rate for non-wristband holders. Wristband holders can also enjoy free bus travel all day on First Bus services in the Bristol Zone on Pride Day (Saturday 11 July 2026) - you'll be sent a free ticket to use with the First Bus App on Pride Day.

What are the food and drink options?

There will be six bars across the site as well as numerous food traders, all offering a range of drinks with sugar and gluten-free options available, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Free drinking water is available at all bars, and drinking water taps are marked on the festival map. Bring an empty water bottle on site to refill. 

Accessibility

There are viewing platforms for the stages, and trackway matting for easier access. Diverse UK will provide a Sensory Calm Space - a low-level stimulation and recalibration zone for those on the Autistic Spectrum or for those who need a place to have a moment of calm, rather than having to leave the festival. The tent will be located next to medics & welfare. Find more about accessibility measures here.
