Thank You, Newcastle! 

​

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Newcastle Pride 2026. Whether you marched, danced, volunteered, performed, fundraised or cheered from the sidelines, you helped make this year’s festival unforgettable.

​

Our theme, City of Hope, Streets of Joy, came to life with over 10,000 people in The March, with 3,000+ people joining us in the Pride Arena and an incredible 50,000 people engaging with Newcastle Pride across the programme.

​

Every moment was a reminder of why Pride matters. It’s a celebration of our community, a protest for equality, and a space where LGBTQIA+ people can be visible and unapologetically themselves.

​

A huge thank you to our team, artists, performers, volunteers, sponsors, partners, supporters and everyone who made this year’s festival possible. You are the heartbeat of Newcastle Pride.
