Coventry Pride is excited to announce that this year’s Pride weekend will take place on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June 2026. Across two vibrant days, the city will come together to celebrate LGBTQIA+ identities, uplift community voices, and champion equality, creativity, and solidarity.
Building on the success of previous years, Coventry Pride 2026 promises a dynamic programme of live performances, art, talks, community activities, and spaces for reflection, empowerment, and joy. As always, Pride is shaped by the people who take part — and we want your voices, talent, and ideas at the heart of the event.
