About

Reading Pride is one of the UK's longest-running free Pride events, working throughout the year to promote LGBT+ equality and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. The annual Parade & Festival features multiple stages with live entertainment including choirs, drag artists, and musicians, alongside a funfair, family area, and market stalls. The event is run entirely by volunteers and relies on sponsorships, donations, and premium PridePlus ticket sales to remain free for all attendees.
