Derby Pride 2026

Derby Pride takes place in Markeaton Park, the big public park on the north west edge of the city. The festival has a main stage, a funfair, a market zone, food and drink, and a separate families area, and a parade assembles in the park's main car park before it opens.

It is run by Derby Pride CIO, a charity registered in the city centre. The weeks before the festival are filled with its own fundraisers in Derby pubs, including a battle of the bands and a pre-Pride party.

This one is ticketed rather than free. Tickets are sold in advance and on the gate, and under sixteens go in free.
