Wakefield Pride

InfoWakefield Pride takes place over the weekeend 8th and 9th August 2026.This is 'Wakefield Pride', our journey began in 2005. Join us as we unveil the story behind the scenes - a tale of resilience, unity, and the birth of a thriving LGBT+ movement that now proudly echoes through the businesses, homes and streets of Wakefield. 'Wakefield Pride not prejudice' as 'Wakefield Pride' was initially called, originated from a request from the youth group 'Fruitbowl' to organise an LGBT+ Pride event in Wakefield. Pride's initial aims were hastily etched onto the back of a beer mat in the lounge of 'The Rainbow' Public House. This moment set the foundation for present-day 'Wakefield Pride', an initiative fuelled by a dedicated collective of volunteers striving to amplify the voice of Wakefield's diverse community. This year will be the 20th anniversary.Theme
