Wotton Pride is delighted to announce its return for a third year, bringing another weekend of celebration, community, entertainment and inclusivity to the town.
Building on the success of last year’s event, organisers are sticking to the winning formula that made Wotton Pride such a popular fixture in the calendar, while introducing an exciting new addition for 2026 – Kidstown at The Royal Oak, offering family-friendly activities and entertainment throughout the day.
The festivities begin on Friday, June 12th with the official opening party at The Royal Oak, setting the tone for a weekend packed with colour, music and celebration.
Saturday’s programme promises something for everyone, including Drag Bingo at Good Food; the ever-popular Wotton Pride Parade; the return of the Stoney Chipping Main Stage, featuring an exciting and diverse line-up including DJ Quark, the remarkable 10-year-old DJ talent, Anne Rayleen, local collaboration band LØWRN, headline tribute sensation The Chappell Phenomenon.
Kidstown at The Royal Oak with community stalls and local exhibitors and a spectacular burlesque and cabaret After Party (18+) at Under the Edge Arts as well as live music at The Star Inn from Fantastque.
For those who aren’t ready for the celebrations to end, the party continues back at The Royal Oak with the legendary After After Party to round off the day.
Wrapping up the weekend there will be a celebration of love at St Mary’s Church, Wotton-under-Edge, with some classic ‘Assembly Bangers’ to sing along to.
Since its launch, Wotton Pride has grown into a community event that celebrates diversity, inclusion and the vibrant spirit of Wotton-under-Edge. Organisers are proud to see the event continue to grow while maintaining the welcoming and friendly atmosphere that has become its hallmark.
Becki Britton-Griffiths, director of Wotton Pride said: “We’re incredibly proud to be bringing Wotton Pride back for a third year. The support from local businesses, performers, volunteers and the wider community has been amazing.
“We’ve kept everything people loved about last year while adding some exciting new elements, including Kidstown, to make the event even more accessible and enjoyable for families. We can’t wait to welcome everyone for another unforgettable weekend of pride, celebration and community spirit.”
Further event information and timings will be announced via Wotton Pride’s social media channels in the lead-up to the event which runs from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th June.
