The festival will again be held in GWR Park, Swindon, following a successful celebration earlier this year which drew more than 15,000 people.
In 2025, the event began with a Pride March through the town centre before moving into a day of music, performances, community stalls and family-friendly activities at the park.
Feedback from attendees praised the event’s inclusive atmosphere, accessibility, and representation of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Planning is already underway for next year’s celebration, with organisers aiming to grow community involvement and improve accessibility further.
Paul Stewart, Chair of Swindon and Wiltshire Pride, said:
“We’re incredibly proud of what we achieved in 2025.
“The support from the community, local businesses, and volunteers was phenomenal.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back in 2026 for another unforgettable celebration of love, identity, and unity.”
The event will remain free to attend, supported by donations, sponsorship, and fundraising.
Swindon and Wiltshire Pride became a registered charity in 2019 and has run events annually since its first in 2008. The charity continues to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across the region.
