Colchester Pride takes place on Saturday 15th August 2026.

Colchester Pride started in 2017, founded by a small team of dedicated volunteers. Since then, we have grown in size and scale, and are thrilled to have received support and funding from a number of organisations including, but not limited to, The OutHouse, the Lottery Community Fund, UNISON, East of England Co-op, Colchester Borough Homes, Colchester Council, Our Colchester and the Mercury Theatre. Join us for a fantastic day full of celebration, education and entertainment, with a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities.
