Northern Pride 2022 England

Info

LGBT+ charity Northern Pride, has revealed the next Newcastle Pride will take place in Newcastle from July 22nd - 25th 202.

The organisers of one of the largest, free Prides have announced the dates for the 2022 festival, fresh from celebrating the success of last weekend’s event.

We have unveiled ambitious plans for our 2022 festival, as we bring UK Pride to the North East.
The Northern Pride festival will return to Newcastle’s Town Moor from 22 to 24 July, with a packed programme of events planned for the lead up to the festival.
And this year’s theme has been revealed as Remember, Resist, Rise Up, with organisers releasing a video preview made with local artists and activists to illustrate what this means to them.

We’ve chosen a powerful theme this year, "Remember, Resist, Rise Up", to pay homage to our collective history, resist oppression – with the pandemic having a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ+ people – and rise up to the challenges we still face.

We plan to...
- show the world that Newcastle and the northeast region is a celebrated LGBTQ+ safe place
- build our most inclusive and accessible festival to date
- bring more local performers and creatives to the festival, celebrating our diverse community
- have the biggest and loudest pride parade, celebrating 50 years since the first UK LGBTQ+ March in London
- deliver our biggest free pride festival weekend ever
