East Coast Pride 2026

East Coast Pride is the Pride for the Lincolnshire coast, held in Tower Gardens in the middle of Skegness. Entry is free. There is a main stage, a market and a family entertainment area, and the whole thing is aimed at families as squarely as at the scene.

It is run by a charity registered in England and Wales, which publishes its own survey of LGBTQIA+ life in Lincolnshire and an impact report after each edition. The same charity runs smaller fundraisers around the county through the rest of the year.

Tower Gardens is open public ground off Grand Parade, a few minutes from the seafront and from the station. Paid VIP packages are sold for anyone who wants reserved space, but nobody needs one to get in.
