Sussex is once again a proud partner of Brighton & Hove Pride, the UK’s biggest Pride event. Celebrating diversity and inclusivity, Pride 2024 will be a joyous commemoration of the brave trailblazers, campaigners and supporters who shaped the Pride movement in the city and helped achieve LGBTQ+ equality.
The Pride Community Parade promises to once again be a highlight of the weekend with over 300,000 people expected to either take part or watch the Parade as it makes its way through the city in spectacular fashion.
We will be taking part in the Parade on Saturday 3 August with a walking party, and invite current students, staff and alumni to join us on the day.
If you take part, you’ll receive a free ticket to enjoy Fabuloso in the Park at Brighton Pride on Saturday 3 August. Fabuloso features over 100 LGBTQ+ artists and headliners on Saturday include Girls Aloud, Billy Porter and House Gospel Choir.
How to take part
To register your interest in taking part in the Parade with us, please complete this form as soon as possible.
All are welcome, however places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We will be operating a waiting list if the Parade is oversubscribed.
What you need to know
You will need to be available from 9am-2pm on Saturday 3 August. You will receive your free Saturday ticket to Fabuloso in the Park on completion of the Parade.
The parade starts at Hove Lawns and ends at Preston Park. A minibus is available to support anyone in the group who may have access requirements.
