Cambridge Pride 2026: dates and events

A free, full-day celebration on Saturday, June 13, Cambridge Pride returns to Jesus Green for its 2026 edition with a packed programme across multiple areas of the park.

The Main Stage brings live singers, drag performers and dance acts from local and national artists, while the Dance Tent runs LGBTQ+ DJs throughout the day alongside a special guest set. The Community Hive hosts talks, relaxed live music and activities for younger visitors, including an art space and storytelling sessions, and a Traders Market and Food Village round out the site.

The weekend kicks off early with a ticketed Friday night event, Now That's What I Call Drag, launching the celebrations on June 12. Last year's event drew an estimated 10,000 people, and 2026 looks set to build on that.

Sponsored by Anglia Ruskin University and organised by The Pink Festival Group, Cambridge Pride is one of the most welcoming events on the UK LGBTQ+ calendar.
