The last few years have witnessed a plethora of local communities across the country championing and celebrating the vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ community. Now, there is a Pride for everyone and this year, over 180 Pride events will take place all over the UK.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march in the UK, GAY TIMES has partnered with Channel 4 on the campaign #ProudAllOver, a digital road trip that covers LGBTQ+ stories at regional Pride events from across the UK.
The campaign spotlights how creatives outside of larger cities celebrate and uplift queer people in even the most rural of locations. Local LGBTQ+ content creators and creatives will also support with on-the-ground commentary. Along the way, you might even discover the destination for your next Pride celebration!
#ProudAllOver will be live on Channel 4 and All 4 this July alongside a star-studded line-up of LGBTQ+ themed programming, such as Pride specials of Celebrity Gogglebox, Steph’s Packed Lunch and First Dates.
It will culminate on Sunday 3rd July with Joe Lycett’s Big Pride Party, which includes special guest appearances from Steps, Self Esteem, Rosie Jones, Olly Alexander, Tia Kofi and Tayce.
To learn more about all of the Pride events in the UK this year, large or small, see our comprehensive list below. Oh, and make sure to check out our social media for more exciting content from our partnership with Channel 4 or visit the partnership hub here.
This list is correct as of 22nd June 2022. We have done everything we can to fact check these dates and times but please refer to the individual Pride pages for the most up to date information. If you would like your Pride event to be added to the list, please email us at edit@gaytimes.co.uk.
