Spectacular pictures capture people of Sheffield coming together to celebrate at Kelham Pride 2026

“We’re a place where everyone is welcome, that’s what Pride’s all about”

Hundreds took part in a event to celebrate the LGBTQ community and show why Pride remains important.

Kelham Pride returned for the third time this year, attracting hundreds of people for its parade through Neepsend and free festival.

With food and drink vendors on hand, as well as live performances from the likes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard, the sunny day was brimming with excitement.

And at the heart of it all was a message of acceptance, as community groups, businesses and representatives from the police and fire brigade turned up to show that people can be proud of who they are.

South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard told The Star on the day: “It’s an inclusive event, it’s about people feeling absolutely rightly that in Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, we’re a diverse place, we’re a welcoming place.

“We’re a place where everyone is welcome, that’s what Pride’s all about.”
