The organisation is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and is sure to pull out all of the stops, with this year’s theme selection title ‘Becoming'.

Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, the UK Black Pride CEO, said: “Our theme this year, ‘Becoming’, celebrates UK Black Pride coming of age and our community’s resilience through challenging times. It’s no secret that this year has been challenging for the community with political rollbacks and DEI cuts. We’ve resisted and thrived to become bigger, better, bolder, and braver through the years.”

It is a completely free event, promising to be the most accessible UK Black Pride ever, championing inclusivity.
