About Swindon & Wiltshire Pride.

Swindon & Wiltshire Pride, launched in 2008 became a registered charity in 2019 - it is run by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who put on a FREE LGBTQIA+ event every year. Over the last 16+ years, we've welcomed over 85k people to our events!

​

The annual event features live music, a Pride March, family fun, stalls, and lots of LGBTQIA+ info. We try and make sure everyone feels included with quiet spots and sign language interpreters so everyone can enjoy!

​

We also focus on "Pride 365" which is a year round focus on the LGBTQIA+ community. We get involved in the local community, attending other events in and around the county spreading awareness. We also have a Pride Hub where you can pick up LGBTQIA+ support guides, which features information on topics such as pronouns and identies. It also includes details of local and national groups and charities. At the Pride Hub you'll even find free period products. Plus, there's an area to sit back, make new friends, and chat in a safe space.
