Kelham Pride returns to the heart of Sheffield on Saturday 21 June 2025, bringing a full day of vibrant LGBTQ+ celebration, visibility, and community to the historic Kelham Island and Neepsend neighbourhoods.
Now a proud part of South Yorkshire’s Pride calendar, the event blends music, performance, activism, and grassroots creativity — all set in one of Sheffield’s most iconic and welcoming areas.
Parade & Route:
The day’s celebrations kick off with the Pride Parade at 1:00 PM, starting at the Kelham Island Museum. Participants will march through the cobbled streets of Kelham Island, celebrating solidarity and inclusion, before gathering at the main stage on Burton Road. Everyone is invited to join — whether you're marching with a banner, in full drag, or simply showing your colours with pride.
Festival Highlights:
The full festival begins from 12:00 PM, with multiple venues and open spaces throughout the area coming alive with live music, drag shows, DJ sets, comedy acts, spoken word performances, and more. The lineup will showcase the diverse creative talent of South Yorkshire’s LGBTQ+ community and allies. Expect a warm, celebratory atmosphere where everyone — from families to nightlife lovers — can find something to enjoy.
A wide selection of food and drink stalls will line the streets and courtyards, offering everything from local eats to global street food, alongside bars, alcohol-free areas, and community chill-out zones. Local charities and LGBTQ+ organisations will be present at various drop-in venues, providing resources, support, and ways to get involved with queer advocacy throughout the year.
Inclusivity & Family-Friendly Vibes:
Kelham Pride is committed to being fully inclusive. The festival includes family-friendly activities, accessible facilities, and quiet spaces for those who may need time away from the crowds. Whether you're a Sheffield local, visiting from further afield, or discovering Pride for the first time — everyone is welcome.
Get Involved:
Kelham Pride is entirely volunteer-run and thrives on community energy. If you’d like to perform, host a stall, volunteer, or help coordinate the parade, the organising team would love to hear from you. You can find out more and get involved by visiting kelhampride.com.
