An incredible 20,000 people took part in the Bristol Pride Parade last year and we’re thrilled to be returning to the streets in 2024.
If you are a member of the public the Parade is free to enter and you do not need to register. Large groups do need to register but entry may still be free for you.
We operate a tiered pricing system for varying sized organisations to help enable smaller organisations to be able to join us. All businesses, organisations, large charities need to register and pay within their price banding to support the parade to happen. We require you to pay in advance of the day to ensure your booking.
Please visit our Parade webpage for more information, registration forms and eligibility.
