Rushmoor Pride Parades Through Farnborough at Noon on 19 September

Rushmoor Pride has named the acts for Saturday 19 September 2026. Scarlett Harlett, Lorraine Bowen, Son of a Tutu and Jack Trinder are all billed for the stage at The Landing in Farnborough town centre, and the organisers say more are still to be announced. The shape of the day is on our event page for Rushmoor Pride 2026.

The times are set. The parade meets from 11:30 at the Village Hotel and sets off at noon through Farnborough. The main event on The Landing runs from 12:30 until 18:00, and the afterparty at The Alex opens its doors at 18:30 and is for over-18s only.

Two practical points the organisers put in writing on their ticket page are worth reading before the morning. There is no parking at the Village Hotel, so they ask people to park in the town centre and walk up. And the Village Hotel as the meeting point is still marked as to be confirmed, so check it again the day before if you plan to arrive exactly at 11:30.

Nothing costs anything. Entry to the day and to the afterparty is free, and the free tickets on Eventbrite are not needed to get in: the organisers use them to plan numbers. They ask people to bring cash for the food stalls, the bars and the local traders on the square, which is where the money stays.

Rushmoor Pride has run since 2024, and its own website was still on a countdown rather than a programme a week before the date, so Eventbrite is where the detail sits. The United Kingdom scores 43.9 out of 100 on ILGA-Europe's Rainbow Index, and what that means in law is on our United Kingdom country page.

We list no venues in Farnborough, so the square and The Alex are the scene that Saturday. Of the Prides we carry within 200 km, the next one after this is Worcester City Pride on 10 October.
