Bracknell Forest Pride returns for its fourth year!

We’re delighted to be bringing Bracknell Forest Pride back for its fourth year on Saturday, 18 July.

This year’s event promises to be its biggest and most colourful celebration yet as residents, visitors and community groups come together to celebrate diversity and inclusion.

The day will kick off with an accessible parade around the town centre, starting at 11.45am outside of Easthampstead Works. The parade will make its way to Bond Square, where live music and entertainment will begin at 12 noon.

Running until 5pm, the free event will feature live music, entertainment, food stalls, family-friendly activities and community information stands, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages.

This year’s entertainment features local performer Ella Bish, favourites Dani Harmer Academy and JB Mac, and new to the event, Take a Chance on Queen and Spice The Tribute. We are also delighted to bring back Bracknell’s resident queen, Fonda, who promises to bring the legs, voice and most fabulous hosting of the event.

The event has been organised in partnership with The Lexicon, Bracknell Town Council and local community groups, with the shared aim of supporting and celebrating the borough’s diverse LGBTQIA+ community. We are also grateful to our sponsors, the Abri Community Fund and Winkfield Parish Council, whose support has helped bring this event to life, welcoming local people in unity and solidarity to enjoy a day of love, friendship and celebration.

Visitors will have the opportunity to connect with a range of local organisations offering advice, resources and friendly support throughout the day.

Cllr Helen Purnell, leader of Bracknell Forest Council, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Bracknell Forest Pride back for 2026. This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our community so strong and vibrant.  Pride is about visibility, inclusion, friendship and respect, and we are proud to support an event that brings people together in such a positive and welcoming way.
