Middlesex Pride returns to Gunnersbury Park, as the 2026 festival takes place on Sunday 2 August. Running from 11am to 5pm on the South Lawns, the event is free to attend and welcomes visitors of all ages for a celebration of LGBTQIA+ life across Middlesex and West London.
Now firmly established as one of the area’s most vibrant community-led Pride events, Middlesex Pride offers a packed programme of performances, activities and stalls. This year’s hosts, Miss Asia Thorne and Lilly Snatchdragon of the Bitten Peach Collective, will lead a line-up featuring DJ Kaspa, Shiva Raichandani, Hannah Wiltshire, Bhuna Baby, Prince of Persia, Queer as an Aro and the West London Queer Choir.
The festival is designed to be family-friendly, with soft play, face-painting, nature workshops, yoga sessions and food stalls alongside an LGBTQIA+ makers’ market showcasing local artists and small businesses. Community organisations will also be present, including Ealing Friends of the Earth, who will run a climate-action stall highlighting the urgent environmental challenges facing London and Europe.
Accessibility remains central to the event’s ethos, with step-free routes, accessible toilets, relaxed performances, wheelchair access and BSL interpretation available throughout the day. Tickets operate on a “pay what you can” basis, from free entry to optional donations up to £25.
Middlesex Pride describes itself as a community-led organisation committed to visibility, solidarity and environmental responsibility. The festival is part of a wider year-round programme aimed at creating safe spaces and strengthening connections across the county. Organisers have pledged to maintain a Fossil Free Pride, refusing sponsorship from fossil fuel companies or financial institutions that fund them.
With its mix of performances, activism, family activities and community spirit, Middlesex Pride 2026 promises a welcoming and uplifting day in one of West London’s most beautiful parks.
