Notts Pride returns to the city, with organisers promising the biggest, boldest and brightest celebration of Nottingham’s LGBTQ+ communities yet.
Building on the huge success of last summer’s event, which welcomed a record 10,000 march attendees – 1,000 more than the previous year – Notts Pride 2026 will once again feature a vibrant parade, live entertainment and activities for all ages.
This year’s event has the theme ‘Bolder and Brighter’ and has been commemorated with a new logo created by PJ Dracovich, known online as Sclera Centipede. PJ is a queer comic artist and illustrator who makes original comics, zines, and illustrations. They were shortlisted for the Queer Britain Art Award and Best Experimental Comic in the Changemakers Choice Award, as well as a finalist for Young Comic Laureate UK in 2025.
The theme and new logo will shape the look and feel of the 2026 event, from the parade and staging to visual identity and programming. The event will remain completely free to attend, creating a safe and inclusive space where LGBTQ+ communities and allies can celebrate together.
The event’s main stage will be returning to Sneinton Market, with further entertainment and a range of fringe events and activities taking place across Hockley and the new Rainbow Quarter. These include at Lord Roberts and The New Foresters which will be hosting day-long pride celebrations reaching far into the early hours.
12pm - March from Listergate to Sneinton Market
12.45pm to 7pm - Main Stage at Sneinton Market Square
There will also be stalls weaving through the Avenues.
