Our Community area in the beating heart of Pride Day.
Community is what Pride is all about so rightly our community area is a key part of the festival a located right in the heart of it.
This is the place for you to meet social and sports groups, charities and support services all dedicated to supporting or providing services to the LGBT+ community.
Political parties have been banned from Bristol Pride since 2023. We took this move to ensure parties truly take action to embed LGBT+ rights into policy, to be there for us all year round, not just at Pride. To fight against the roll back of our rights and to ensure that no parts of our community are left behind.
We will not accept applications from fossil fuel companies, defence and arms/weapons manufacturing organisation or animal testing organisations. Read our full ethical partnership and sponsorship policy here.
