Award winning Bristol Pride Festival will return to the city again this year in a slightly different format, after 2020 saw the event, like many others, move online. The popular festival’s planned return will span two weeks from Saturday 3rd July - Friday 16th July,

During the two weeks, favourites from the festival’s usual programme of events will take place in venues across the city. Bringing the city alive with Pride as the charity also helps to support one of the hardest hit sectors, especially hospitality venues that are serving the LGBT+ community.

Other events to look out for across the two weeks of the festival include the return of Pride Night including the official afterparty at O2 Academy, the ever popular Dog Show, a spectacular drag Cabaret Night featuring queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Comedy Night, Circus Night, Theatre Night and Queer Vision Film Festival.

Bristol Pride Ticket Information

While the event in Castle Park is open access, where a ticket or wristband will not be required, organisers are encouraging attendees to purchase a Supporter Wristband. Priced at £5, they enable future events like Pride Day to remain accessible to those, who for socio-economic reasons, may not be able to afford to attend an exclusively ticketed event.

The organisation has taken a robust approach, ensuring that planned events can be delivered in accordance with any guidelines that may be in place at the time.

Bristol Pride are encouraging people to sign up to their mailing list to hear about all the latest plans, ticket releases and vital information.
