Trans Pride Brighton and Hove 2026

It’s early days yet, but planning for Trans Pride Brighton and Hove 2026 is officially underway. This event, which was founded back in 2013, is known globally as both a festival and a major protest for trans liberation. It holds the distinction of being the largest Trans Pride event outside of America, and the biggest protest of its kind in Europe. If you’re looking ahead to the summer calendar, the organizers have tentatively scheduled the event for July 2026. However, since the planning has only just begun, the exact date is still listed as 'to be confirmed', so we should keep an eye on the official channels for updates as the details firm up.

Historically, this event draws a massive crowd, sometimes seeing total attendance figures reach up to 40,000 people, all focused on supporting the trans community and their allies right here in Brighton and Hove. The organization behind this is a registered charity (number 1162738), and the event relies entirely on donations to happen each year. This structure suggests that the main march and protest component is free to attend, though they are active across social media platforms and Discord if you want to follow their progress or get involved in the planning stages. The organization has stated that they expect to have more information available shortly as they move forward with preparations for the summer.

While we’re talking about summer events, it’s worth noting that Trans Pride Brighton and Hove is a separate entity from the larger Brighton & Hove Pride celebration, which is currently scheduled for August 1st and 2nd, 2026. The Council has given its consent for the general Pride events through 2026, and that celebration will still feature the 'Trans Fabuloso stage' as part of its programming. But for those specifically interested in the protest and festival focused solely on trans liberation, the July date for Trans Pride is the one to watch. We should expect more concrete information on the venue and schedule to drop soon now that the preparation phase has kicked off.
