Swindon and Wiltshire Pride 2023

Info

Swindon & Wiltshire Pride takes place on Saturday the 12th August 2023.

Swindon & Wiltshire Pride was launched in 2008, with the first ever Pride festival being held in Swindon. In 2009, the Pride event was expanded to incorporate Swindon & Wiltshire Pride. This year's pride will be a cut down event, consisting of a small pride picnic. Pride is inclusive of all. Children are welcome, especially with accompanying adults.

Pride Picnic

We are inviting you to Queens Park for our first Pride Picnic. A place to bring the LGBTQIA+ community together and celebrate, educate and raise awareness of the LGBTQIA+ community. While this isn't our usual large Pride event, we are thrilled to be hosting a smaller event that encourages the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to come along for the day. Bring a picnic, a blanket, and a pride flag.

Chill out zone
We are excited to share that we have added a new zone the "Chill out zone". This area will be located away from the main area of the park for those that need to get away from the noise and take some time away from the hustle and bustle of the main area.
