Bath Pride, Bath (2026)

26/08/2026

Bath Pride 2026’s march was beautiful, it was big, and it was LOUD! 🏳️‍🌈📣

Seeing so many people take to the streets of Bath, standing together in solidarity, was incredibly powerful.

Before we set off, Bath Pride committee member and Trustee Zoe spoke to the crowd about what Bath Pride stands for and why Pride remains a protest as much as it is a celebration.

Aisha from SARI also joined us at the start of the march, joining us in leading a minute of silence for Berlin and those who were killed and injured in the attack.

Then, led by members of the Bath Pride committee and friends, we took to the streets of Bath and made our way together to Sydney Gardens.

Pride has always been, and will always be, a protest. It’s a celebration of who we are, but it’s also about showing up, speaking out and standing together for our community.

Did you spot us making our way through Bath? 👀

A huge thank you to all the brilliant organisations and groups who marched alongside us: Bath Mind, Oasis Bath with Affirming Christians, Western Force, Bath Roller Derby, Luna Theatrics, NT Bath Assembly Rooms, Guiders Against Trans Exclusion, , Bath Welcomes Refugees, National Education Union (NEU) and .

Thank you as well to .tm.south.west.ltd for supporting our road closures, and AV Group for helping keep everyone safe throughout the march. ❤️

And, of course, thank you to every single person who marched, cheered from the sidelines, waved a flag, held a placard or simply showed up. You made it what it was.

Putting on a march like this isn’t cheap, road closures alone are a significant cost for a small grassroots Pride like ours. If you’d like to help make sure we can take to the streets of Bath again next year, please consider donating through https://bathpride.org/donate/ 🏳️‍🌈

And that’s a wrap on Bath Pride 2026!!! 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Bath, you were incredible.

Thank you to every single person who came along today, for showing up, standing up, being unapologetically yourselves and bringing so much love, joy and energy to Sydney Gardens.

Pride is about celebration, but it’s also about community, solidarity and protest. Seeing so many of you come together today reminded us exactly why we do this.

Bath Pride is organised by a small team of volunteers, and putting on an event like this takes a huge amount of time, work and money. If you’re able to, please consider donating through the link in our bio. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us keep Bath Pride free, accessible and here for many, many years to come. 🫶

A massive thank you to our sponsors Bath Rugby Curo HAVEFAITHTATTOO Lucy & Yak Mr B's Emporium In Bath, UK jojo Community Wellbeing Hub Keynsham Mobile Massage and Different Dynamics, your support helps make Bath Pride possible.

Thank you to every performer who took to our stages, every trader, artist, charity and community organisation who joined us, and everyone who helped make the park feel so full of life.

Thank you to AV Group for helping keep everyone safe throughout the day, to our volunteers for giving up their time and throwing themselves into absolutely everything, and to all of the organisations, suppliers and partners who worked behind the scenes to make today happen.

And finally, thank YOU, Bath. ❤️

We can’t wait to do it all again!!
