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.
The University will be taking part in the Parade on Saturday 3 August with a walking party including current students, staff and alumni. The parade starts at Hove Lawns and ends at Preston Park, with a minibus available to support anyone in the group who may have access requirements. If you're planning on coming along to Pride, keep an eye out for us in the parade on the day!
About our partnership with Brighton & Hove Pride
Founded in the 1960s, the University of Sussex has always been a place where people can be themselves and stand up for what they believe in.
Our students, together with our academics, work beyond boundaries to explore the connections across subject disciplines and find creative solutions to some of the big challenges facing society.
We welcome staff and students from every corner of the globe. Their knowledge, skills and passion help to shape the world around us and contribute to making a positive difference to people’s lives.
The University of Sussex is supporting Brighton Pride because we stand for what Pride stands for – we both want to make the world a better, kinder and more inclusive place. Being part of Brighton Pride reflects the University’s commitment to inclusion and equality for all LGBTQ+ people including staff, students and the wider community.
Have a great Pride.
