Northampton Pride

Event details

• Northampton Pride 2026 - Saturday 11 July
• Location: Northampton Market Square

Now in our ninth year, Northampton Pride is organised by the Northampton Pride Committee, a dedicated group of volunteers and local partners committed to delivering a safe, welcoming and inclusive Pride for all.

The event will once again feature live performances, walkabout entertainers, food and drink stalls, community spaces and much more, creating a memorable experience for attendees of all ages.

Last year’s Pride saw thousands of people travel into Northampton to celebrate. The Pride Parade was a highlight of the day, with hundreds of participants including community groups, performers and members of the public.

This year, Northampton Pride Parade will follow a route around the Market Square. While the parade will be smaller in scale, it promises to be just as vibrant, inclusive, and impactful. The parade will take place around 12 pm.

Community groups will lead the procession, and partners, guests, and visitors are warmly invited to join the celebrations in front of the main stage once the parade concludes.

Please see the stage programme below for details of the day's entertainment and activities.
