🌈 JUST 7 WEEKS TO GO! 🎭✨

In just seven weeks, our friends at York Stage will take to the Grand Opera House York with Everybody’s Talking About Jamie! 💖👠

We got a little preview on the York Pride Main Stage earlier this year, when members of the cast performed some of the show’s biggest numbers — having only rehearsed them a handful of times before Pride! 🤯

And they were absolutely FANTASTIC! 🌟

If that performance was anything to go by, we’re in for another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ production from York Stage.

📅 16–24 October 2026

🌈 Remembering Tim Curry 🖤

We’re saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary Tim Curry, aged 80.

For generations of LGBTQ+ people, Tim’s unforgettable performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show was more than just an iconic film role.

Bold, unapologetic, camp and gloriously unconventional, Frank-N-Furter became a lasting part of q***r popular culture and helped generations of people celebrate being different.

Tim leaves behind an extraordinary legacy across stage and screen – but there will always be a very special place for him in the hearts of the LGBTQ+ community.

“Don’t dream it. Be it.” 🌈

Rest in peace, Tim Curry. 🖤

An icon, an ally and a true legend.

Dolly’s music brought joy to generations, but beyond the rhinestones and incredible songs was someone who consistently showed kindness, compassion and support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Today the world feels a little less colourful.

We will always love you, Dolly. 💖🌈

🌈✨ Throwback time! ✨🌈

A little trip through the York Pride archives with two very familiar faces… St Sordid Secret and Mamma Bear! 🎤💃

Over the years, they've both become a huge part of York Pride - entertaining our crowds, taking to our stages and keeping everything running as fabulous hosts. From brilliant performances to plenty of laughs (and probably a few moments we couldn't possibly repeat in public 👀😂), they've given us so many amazing Pride memories.

We're incredibly grateful for all the love, energy and support they've given York Pride over the years. ❤️

So here's a throwback to and ._.bear through the years! 🏳️‍🌈

How many of these York Prides do you remember? 👀

📸🌈 Happy World Photography Day!

Today we're celebrating the people behind the camera who capture the moments, memories and magic of Pride — and we couldn't let the day pass without giving a huge shout-out to Alan from Milner Creative. ❤️

Alan has worked with York Pride for many years and does an absolutely incredible job of capturing everything that makes our day so special — from the colour and energy of the parade to those brilliant candid moments across the festival.

We're incredibly grateful for the time, talent and support Alan gives us year after year. So many of the memories you see us sharing wouldn't exist without him! 🏳️‍🌈📷

Here are just a few of Alan's fantastic shots from York Pride 2026. ✨

Thank you, Alan! 💜 milnerCreative

🎶🌈 YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE SONG…

You're marching the entire 2.4 miles of the York Pride Parade — but there's a catch…

🔁 You can only listen to ONE song on repeat for the whole parade.

What are you choosing? 👀🎧

A Pride anthem? 🏳️‍🌈
A cheesy classic? 💃
Your ultimate dancefloor banger? 🔥
Or something completely unexpected? 😂

ONE SONG. 2.4 MILES. ON REPEAT.
