CHEPSTOW PRIDE 2026
We wanted to say thank you so much to our incredible community- from our incredible performers to our members and volunteers, every single person that came along to this year’s Chepstow Pride, thank you! So much, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We are so proud what we’ve all achieved together. This is what community looks like!
Thank you for baring with us and being patient as we recover! We were a bit overwhelmed, but it’s all been so worth it. Even though we’re still a bit speechless, we are so moved by all the love and support for our events this year, and we are already so excited to continue to grow and put on an even better show next year. With help from our good friend we’ve put together this little reel to try and capture some of the spirit of the Sunday, but expect more footage from each event and thanks to come!
We are committed to keeping Chepstow Pride a proper local celebration, by and for the local community, and most importantly, a free event. But this means we need your support; be it in volunteering your time, helping us fundraise, or if you are able to, making a donation via our go fund me.. Had an amazing time this year? Please consider donating. Even small donations contribute massively to keeping this all going. All of this directly goes towards our events- none of the committee are paid for their work as it is entirely voluntary, but we strive to pay our artists and performers, because we can all agree that they deserve it! Link is in our bio. Now onto our Oscars acceptance speech worthy list of thanks!!
