Welcome to Pride in Chippenham!
We are delighted to announce the return of PrideFest, taking place on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2026.
PrideFest 2026 will build on last year’s hugely popular format, with local businesses and organisations across Chippenham opening their doors and showcasing their activities to host a vibrant programme of events. Attendees can expect a packed weekend including our popular parade and opening ceremony, live comedy, drag shows, punk gig, pride market, open mic and film screenings!
Following feedback from last year, we're also expanding into the beautiful riverside Island Park for our Picnic In The Park - featuring entertainment from the Rock Choir, art and craft activities, samba workshop, food stalls and more! All designed to celebrate diversity, creativity, and community spirit.
The event is family-friendly, and we encourage people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities to come along and enjoy a weekend of fun, connection, and celebration.
More details about the full programme and participating venues will be announced on our 'Whats On' page.
As preparations are underway, our committee is also seeking volunteers to help make PrideFest 2026 a safe and fun weekend for all. Anyone interested in getting involved is invited to email: info@chippenhampride.co.uk
Supporting your local Pride helps create a fun, inclusive, and safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community right in your town. These events rely on community support, whether it’s donating, volunteering, or just showing up, to keep going. Every bit of help makes a difference, from funding performers to covering venue costs. Plus, it’s a great way to show that everyone deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
Pride is about bringing people together, celebrating, and making sure LGBTQIA+ folks feel safe and supported here. It’s all non-profit, just a community effort to make Chippenham a place we can all be proud of.
We’re a bunch of locals who care about making Chippenham a welcoming place for everyone. We all have jobs, families, and busy lives, but we put in the work after hours because it matters.
Join our Organization And Fundraising Event to make a difference and create a positive impact in the community!
