Pride in Surrey may be celebrating its fifth anniversary, but the small team behind the event have had their work cut out in the past twelve months.

There’s no stopping us: when Pride Month is officially over, we’ll be gearing up for Pride in Surrey 2024, which takes place in Stoke Park, Guildford, on Saturday 21st September. Hopefully by then the sun will be shining, and whatever the weather, the rainbows will be out, loud and proud.
There’s still time to take part: as a volunteer, sponsor, or simply as a reveller. You can buy tickets for Pride in Surrey, here. And if you can’t wait until then to take part in the fun, here’s what’s happening with Pride in Surrey for Pride Month. There’s still time to join the Parade!
While we have a close affiliation with the Surrey team, of course there are amazing Pride events taking place all across the UK – and further afield! To find out more about the celebrations around the country, see The Pink News, or Pride Events.
