By getting a Supporter Wristband, you’re supporting Pride, while accessing great rewards like money off the Festival bars and dedicated access lanes to beat the queues.
As festival costs continue to grow, we need your help more than ever. When you get one of our wristbands, you’ll get great benefits on Pride Day including free travel on First Bus in Bristol, quicker entry lanes at the gates, money off drink prices at our onsite bars, plus discounts/freebies with our food traders – save money whilst supporting Pride!
For Bristol Pride 2025, we’re working on more benefits for our wristbands which will be revealed in the coming months. For early wristband purchasers, we’ll be running monthly prize draws until May for the chance to win festival food/drink vouchers, Bristol Pride Merch, PLUS special merch signed by Pride Day artists.
We firmly believe in making Pride accessible to all, not just those who can afford a high ticket price. But we need your support. Bristol Pride is a not-for-profit charity and every penny from our Supporter Wristbands goes to make Pride happen.
Everyone will be asked for a donation on the gates. Wristbands show you have already supported the festival and offer dedicated quick access gate lanes. Children do not need a wristband but a donation on the gates would be greatly appreciated.
Support Pride and gain access to great rewards at Pride and across the city, including cheaper bar prices for wristband holders and dedicated entry gate lane for wristband holders.

Bristol Pride is a registered charity that is volunteer-led and run by a small team. Bristol Pride is committed to ensuring the festival remains accessible to all, with a donation-entry option, while creating a sustainable future for the event. Wristband sales are vital to this effort, helping to fund not only the festival but also the charity’s year-round work
Pride is our chance to connect with each other and the wider communities and it is your chance to celebrate who you are.
Please support us by buying in advance!
To help make Pride Day happen we introduced Supporter Wristbands, these start from £9 and not only do they support us they also offer you great rewards too.

Afterparties are for those over 18 years of age, to comply with the venue licence laws, and ID will be checked.
You will be sent confirmation of purchase at time of purchase and your eTicket will be sent to you a week before your event.
eTickets are exchanged for a festival wristband at the festival gates on Pride Day or at the Pride Hub once open.
Please ensure you bring ID for wristband exchange as staff may need this for verification.
You do not need to print your Eticket but please have the PDF and QR code downloaded and ready to scan on the gates as signal is patchy and this will help get you all in quicker.
NO ALCOHOL can be brought into the festival, this is to comply with police and licence conditions required to hold the event.
All bars onsite will be cashless, so please ensure you are able to pay on card or Apple / Google Pay before entering to site.
Profits from the bars go back into the Bristol Pride charity, supporting our work and allowing us to continue to produce the festival.
We have a fair pricing policy and with a Supporter Wristband you will also save 50p on bar prices.
There will be strictly enforced bag searches in place, to speed up your entry and reduce queues please do not bring a bag unless you need to.
Children do not need a separate wristband. Please be reminded that those under 16 need to be accompanied by an adult to comply with our event licence.
