Liverpool Pride

Liverpool's Pride returns 24 to 26 July 2026 after a turbulent couple of years, delivered through a new partnership between Sahir House and the LCR Pride Foundation. The weekend opens with the Official Opening Party at M&S Bank Arena on Friday 24 July, followed by Liverpool's Pride March on Saturday 25 July, which gathers from 11.30am at the city's Pier Head, follows a fully accessible step-free route along Strand Street and Salthouse Quay at the Albert Dock, and ends at the M&S Bank Arena.

The Opening Party headliners are Sugababes with a full greatest hits set and Beth Ditto's first solo show in Liverpool, joined by drag superstars Bimini and RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Tia Kofi (her Liverpool debut), Horsemeat Disco, Harrsn featuring House Gospel Choir, plus Liverpool community performers Tyler DaClaire, Pam Sandwich and Debbie Darling. Saturday's community-led programme includes a marketplace of local LGBTQ+ artists, indie makers and queer-owned businesses, with concerts and shows continuing across the city. The wider Stanley Street and Pride Quarter sees venues running their own programming through the weekend.

Opening Party tickets are £35 to £45 plus fees, available from the M&S Bank Arena. The March is free to take part in. Saturday programming is community-led and largely free. Proceeds from the Opening Party support Sahir House's vital work for the LGBTQ+ community in Liverpool and contribute to the wider Saturday programme.
