Kelham Pride 2026: Applications go live to join Sheffield’s biggest Pride parade

Sheffield’s biggest LGBTQ+ event, returns on Saturday, June 20, 2026, for the third year.

The festival promises plenty of music, dancing, and family friendly fun.

The march will pass through Kelham Island and Neepsend, finishing at the main stage on Burton Road.

The exact parade route will be confirmed nearer the time.

Participation is free, but organisers of Kelham Pride are encouraging a voluntary donation when registering.

The not-for-profit, volunteer-run event depends on donations and sponsorship to remain free for the community.

The recommended donation amounts depend on the size and nature of participants, broken down into the following categories:

• Individual, friends, family, or community group - Free
• Community and voluntary organisation - £25
• Small business and independent organisation - £50
• Organisations with 100+ people - £100
• Organisations with 250+ people - £200

Kelham Pride organiser, Tracy Marshall, said: “We are so excited to bring the Kelham Pride parade back to our corner of the city. Last year, we had more people than the previous, and we are hoping to see that again for 2026.

“Everyone who is involved in making the event a reality are volunteers, and we heavily rely on our fantastic sponsors and the generosity of the community to put on what has become Sheffield’s biggest LGBTQ+ event.

“If organisations can contribute to take part in the parade, we are eternally grateful and want them to know they are a huge part in making Kelham Pride happen.”
