Brighton Trans Pride 2026

Brighton Trans Pride returns for its 13th annual edition on Saturday, 18 July 2026. Organised by the non-profit group Trans Pride Brighton, which has been running the event since 2013, the day focuses on the visibility and equality of trans, non-binary, and intersex people. It serves as a space for the community, their families, and allies to gather in the city. The event is structured to provide a platform for these groups to connect, with the organisers aiming to address issues of discrimination through collective visibility.

The day begins at Jubilee Square, where the march for trans liberation starts. Participants will gather at 11:00, with speeches scheduled for 11:30 before the march departs at 12:00. Throughout the day, activities are spread across several locations, including the Corn Exchange, Jubilee Square, New Steine Gardens, and Dorset Gardens. These venues host various festival activities, allowing attendees to move between different parts of the city. For those planning to stay into the evening, the afterparty is hosted at the Corn Exchange, starting at 19:00. The event remains active from 11:30 until 23:59, providing a full day of programming.

Entry to all parts of the event is free. It is designed to be family-friendly, with a designated picnic area available in Dorset Gardens for those attending with children. Regarding the broader context of this year’s event, the organisers have noted their concerns regarding the current political climate, specifically focusing on the impact of policies on trans healthcare. This perspective is part of the dialogue the organisation is bringing to the forefront during this year’s gathering, reflecting the ongoing discussions within the community about the challenges they face. By maintaining a presence in public spaces like the Corn Exchange and the city's gardens, the event continues its established format of combining protest with community celebration.
