LGBTQ pride events will take place in the UK and abroad for this summer’s trip

A few years later, this year’s Pride celebration promises to be a protest party at a monumental party.

Bristol, London, Manchester and Brighton are just a few of the British cities raising rainbow flags for a grand parade.

But the UK is not the only one attending the event. There are major pride events in Berlin, Sweden, and even Tremolinos.

So grab your face paint, strap on your harness, and see where you can spread your love this summer.

Tremolinos- until June 5. From October 31 to November 6

Brighton-August 5-7

Brighton pride feels like part of the city’s DNA, so everyone gets involved. Find friends at a Cape Town block party, find a crowd at the We Are Fabulous Festival (tickets from 32:32:50) in Preston Park, and have a family wave a flag under the 2022 banner “Love, Protest, Unity.” Find them.

Given the expected 300,000 people, most events are ticketed, so plan ahead. If you’re not local, plan your route home. Please note: these trains! Three days of dissonant screams. Don’t take it any other way.

Do you want to see the sights? Walk down the street and you’ll find an independent boutique. For a little cuisine, visit the Royal Pavilion (Tickets 17-17), the former spa of George IV.

Stop: Marmison Brighton bed by the sea, room from 9149.

Stockholm-August 1-7

For a cool LGBT+ elf vacation in the city, try Scandinavia’s biggest pride in Stockholm. The festival takes place for a week and some 500,000 people take part in the main parade.

There’s also a Pride Park with regular scenes and displays (and a 18+ kink zone), and a Pride House that offers workshops and talks throughout the week.

After strolling through one of Europe’s friendliest and most civilized cities, soak up the rainbow atmosphere, grab a sunset drink and head to Malarpaviljongen, a gay-owned floating bar-restaurant that welcomes everyone to Stockholm.

Berlin-July 23

European Party Capital offers a month of pride with two great event options.

This is CSD, or Christopher Street Day, Berlin’s main pride event. The parade goes from Schონnberg, Berlin’s main rock district, to the Brandenburg Gate.

There’s also the Stadtfest a week ago around Nollendorfplatz, which has another weird Berlin feel (think of a kid casually talking in a doll mask next to a demo).

Here for the club? Advance tickets are required for big guns like Berghain (price varies).

Do you want to see the sights? Stroll through the Tiergarten or swap vintage vinyl and retro yarn at Mauerpark, one of the city’s largest Sunday markets, to unwind from the frenzy.

Bristol-July 9

Bristol Pride includes over two weeks of events and activities in the city from June 25 to July 10. This always includes popular dog shows (categories include “owner’s favorite” and “best music sessions”).

Manchester-26-29 August

Manchester Pride ditched the Superstar and its MCR Ply Drive event and went back to its roots this year. The focus was again on the protests, not the pop concerts.

So I look forward to not only the big parades and gay parties, but also the candlelight, the RCM for youth pride, the RCM for family pride, and the human rights forums.

Our advice? Superbia Weekend, a free cultural stone festival held in an alcohol-free zone, is the ideal cerebral accompaniment to the front door.

Do you want to see the sights? From small plates and natural wine to Elst’s modern British manna from former Noma chef Simon Martin, indulge in Ancoats, the city’s hottest new culinary district.

Stop: The Cool Cow Hollow Hotel has rooms from £119pn.
