There is no core funding to ensure Bristol Pride happens.
We are the only UK Pride of our size to still offer donation entry meaning no-one is excluded from Pride for financial reasons. Without your donations, this would not be possible.
Everyone who buys a Supporter Wristbands and our Festival Partners help deliver key parts of the festival and free events for the community.
Organisational and Partner support is vital to Pride. In the face of rising event and infrastructure costs, it is essential to ensuring that the Parade and maintaining donation-entry happen.
However, we do not accept applications from fossil fuel companies and those involved in defence, arms/weapons manufacturing, or animal testing. We would also look to see that national/multi-national companies have a formal sustainability strategy addressing material risks and impacts.
