Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Leeds Pride, takes place on Sunday the 20th July 2025. We are proud to announce that Leeds Pride will return in July. Leeds Pride is one of the biggest one-day festivals in Leeds City Centre! It has undoubtedly become a huge contributor to the local economy, with over 70,000 choosing to visit last year, and attendance numbers are growing every year. Each year, the colourful parade kicks off at Millennium Square, winding its way through the city streets and culminating on Lower Briggate by The Calls, where the festivities begin. The parade is not only a celebration of pride and solidarity, but also a significant economic driver, contributing an estimated 3.8 million to the city centre. Last year saw the biggest ever parade, with over 167 organisations in attendance throughout the day. Leeds Pride now attracts people from all over the UK and overseas, whilst still remaining free for all to attend. As always, Leeds Pride will be a free event. Theme to follow Parade Starts at 12:00-14:00 and sets off from Leeds Town Hall. Parade participants can gather in Millennium Square ahead of the parade. A call will be made on the stage when it is time for you to get to your position. More to follow Festival Lower Briggate 11:00 @ Lower Briggate. Call Lane In an exciting development, organisers of Leeds Pride have announced that Call Lane will be incorporated into the site plan. This expansion promises to provide visitors with more space, additional venues to explore, and a fresh dynamic to one of the regions most beloved LGBTQ+ celebrations. Call Lane, renowned for its mix of bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues, will now be an integral part of the Leeds Pride festivities. This move comes as part of efforts to enhance the overall experience for attendees and accommodate the growing popularity of the event. After Party to follow
