Chichester Pride 2025

Chichester Pride takes place on Saturday the 24th May 2025. This will be Chichester's 4th Pride festival style Pride ticketed event in Chichester, West Sussex, to celebrate all those, past and present, that have been monumental in advocating LGBTQ+ rights. Following a sell-out in 2022 for Chichester's very first Pride event, a historic moment for the LGBTQ+ community who live in the city and surrounds, this year is set to be even bigger and better. Theme No theme Parade Chichester Pride Parade through the city in the morning, leaving Priory Park to walk down North Street, around The Cross, before gathering adjacent to the Cathedral Green for some speeches, before disbanding. Come line the streets from 10:30 onward to cheer the parade and join us in celebrating this historic moment. Festival Chichester Pride is back in the city on Saturday. Join us on the leafy green front lawn at Chichester College between 12:00-19:00. Yes, that is right. We are bigger and more visible than ever before! Prepare for a day filled with amazing activities, exhilarating performances and inspiring speakers, plus a lively atmosphere that radiates positivity. Chichester Pride is not just a celebration it's a movement; a powerful testament to the strength found in diversity and the beauty of embracing our authentic selves.
