🏳️🌈✨ TODAY’S THE DAY — HERTS PRIDE 2026! ✨🏳️⚧️
Good morning Hertfordshire! 💜🌈
After months of planning, organising and probably far too little sleep… Herts Pride is finally here!
Our team is now on site at Cassiobury Park getting everything ready to welcome you. From this morning, we may not be able to respond to every Facebook comment, DM or message — please bear with us! We’re a small team and today our focus has to be on delivering a safe, welcoming and fabulous Pride for everyone. ❤️
So, here’s everything you need to know in a nutshell…

🔞 CHALLENGE 25
Herts Pride operates a Challenge 25 policy.
If you’re lucky enough to look under 25, you may be asked to provide valid photo ID when purchasing alcohol. Please bring appropriate ID with you — no ID may mean no sale.
🛡️ SECURITY & ENTRY
Our SIA security team will be carrying out entry and bag searches, so please allow a little extra time when arriving.
🚫 Alcohol cannot be brought into the event or taken out of the event.
Please follow the instructions of our security team and event staff — these measures are there to help keep everyone safe.
♿ ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION
We want Herts Pride to be as welcoming and accessible as possible.
Accessible facilities include an AccessoLoo, accessible toilet provision and accessible viewing provision.
If you have any questions about accessibility when you arrive, please speak to a member of the Herts Pride team and we’ll be happy to direct you to the accessible facilities and arrangements available on site. 💜
🎪 THERE’S SO MUCH TO EXPLORE!
Alongside a fantastic programme of entertainment, you’ll find our Wellbeing, Community, Market, Family & Youth, Sports, Emergency Services and Entertainment areas, plus our Dog Show, funfair, food and more.
Take some time to explore the whole site — there are some brilliant organisations, charities, community groups, traders and partners joining us today. 🌈
☀️ COME PREPARED
We’re outdoors in Cassiobury Park, so dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes and remember any essentials you might need during the day.
💜 MOST IMPORTANTLY — COME AS YOU ARE.
Herts Pride is about celebrating who we are, connecting with one another, finding support, having fun and showing that Hertfordshire is a place where our LGBTQ+ community can not only be visible — but Pride & Thrive.
Please be kind to our volunteers, security teams, traders, performers, partners and each other. So many people have worked incredibly hard to make today possible.
After all the planning, it’s finally time to open the gates and celebrate with you. 🥹🌈
🏳️🌈 Welcome to Herts Pride 2026.

SEE YOU AT 12! 🌈🎉💜
