What’s on

The march 

Notts Pride begins with a visibility march through the city centre of more than 7,000 LGBTQ+ people and allies. Many businesses, charities, groups and organisations join us, while many more march as individuals, couples and families. Our Pride march stewards will be on hand to help guide and organise those taking part and will be there if you have any questions or need assistance. We love to see such large numbers taking part in the march but remember to plan ahead as you may be on your feet for quite some time. Sun protection and plenty of water are both highly recommended. 

The market

Around 5,000 people join us in the afternoon, with educational stalls weaving their way through the streets of Hockley along George Street and Goosegate. You will find local grassroots community groups, charities, organisations and staff networks who offer services, support and information to LGBTQ+ people. 

The Main Stage

The theme of celebration continues throughout the day as we provide a central stage for a host of artists from Nottinghamshire’s LGBTQ+ community. From spoken word poets and musicians to drag artists, we recognise the importance of celebrating local talent and they will always be our headliners. If Heathcoat Street reaches capacity, our security may pause admitting people to the stage area for a short while for health and safety reasons, so please do not be offended if this happens. There is plenty going on for everyone to enjoy. 

Please note you cannot bring glass bottles or alcohol into this area. This is to keep everyone safe.

Lace Market Square

A new space for 2023. Lace Market Square will feature some of our market stalls including an event for families with younger children delivered by Troy Jenkinson from 2pm. If you need some quiet time or a place to sit away from the crowds Lace Market Square will have picnic tables and additional toilet facilities.
