Chichester Pride returns on Saturday 24 May 2025, bringing colour, music, and unity to the heart of West Sussex. This year’s event promises to be bigger, bolder, and more inclusive than ever, offering a day filled with celebration, reflection, and community spirit.
The event takes place across central Chichester, with the main festival site hosting live entertainment, community stalls, food and drink, and dedicated zones for families and young people. It’s a space where everyone — LGBTQ+ people and allies alike — are welcome to come together and stand proud.
The day begins with a vibrant Pride Parade that winds through Chichester’s historic city centre. Expect a powerful and joyful display of diversity as local groups, allies, organisations, and individuals come together to march with pride, raising flags, voices, and awareness. It’s a moment of visibility and solidarity that sets the tone for the celebrations to follow.
Live performances will take place on the main stage throughout the afternoon, featuring a mix of national talent and local favourites. Expect music acts, drag performers, and spoken word artists bringing energy, laughter, and inspiration. Chichester Pride has a reputation for uplifting, quality entertainment and 2025 will be no exception.
Across the site, visitors can explore a wide range of community and charity stalls offering information, merchandise, support services, and interactive experiences. Local LGBTQ+ groups, health organisations, and ally-led initiatives will be present, making this a fantastic opportunity to connect with resources and voices from across the region.
A wide range of food and drink vendors will be on site, offering something for everyone — from street food favourites and vegan options to sweet treats and refreshing drinks. Bar areas will also be available for those wanting to enjoy a celebratory toast in a safe, inclusive atmosphere.
Families and younger visitors are warmly welcomed. The event includes a family-friendly zone with creative workshops, games, and inclusive activities that make the day enjoyable for all ages. This is a Pride event where children, parents, and chosen families can feel equally at home.
