Bury Pride 2026 England

Info

Bury Pride takes place on Saturday the 30th May 2026.

The Walking Rainbow was first started by the youth group Proud of Gayness (POG) and Bury youth Cabinet supported by the LGBT Foundation, Bury GMP and Bury Council in 2013. The youth groups, supported by Children’s services, brought together the Council, GMP and other local partners to stand against discrimination and to celebrate diversity. The Walking Rainbow Parade was the first in the country to have all faith leaders speak against hate crime and discrimination and was a great success.
