... Comments

The 2023 event, which made a return to the city after a four-year absence,
welcomed nearly 5,000 people to Old Market Square, raising over £6,000 for
local LGBT+ charities, Wolverhampton LGBT+, X2Y and Gorgeous Radio.
People can now purchase tickets to the next year’s Pride which takes place at
Old Market Square on Saturday 8 June 2024, with early bird prices starting at
just £3.
The event will once again be partnering with City of Wolverhampton Council,
Enjoy Wolverhampton, Gorgeous Radio, X2Y LGBT Youth, Wolverhampton
LGBT+, The White Hart, Gorgeous Nightclub, Wolverhampton Homes, and
Arena Theatre to deliver a Pride event that everyone can be proud of.
Key features of Wolverhampton Pride 2024 will be a Pride Market, Pride
Afterglow, Pride Plaza and a Pride Parade. 
Councillor Paula Brookfield, Cabinet Member for Governance and Equalities
said: “I am so excited we have a date for next year’s Pride, it’s a great
opportunity for people to come together and celebrate who they are in a safe
and happy, party environment. Although the weather cut short last year’s
event, it was still great to see everybody come together and get involved in a
city celebration of the LGBT+ community.”
Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, Cabinet Member for Visitor City said: “It was an
honour to take part in 2023’s Pride Parade and see so many residents come
together and show their support for the community.
“As a council, we want to ensure that Wolverhampton Pride becomes a firm
staple in the city's events calendar; that it is representative and reflective of
what the LGBT+ community want, and that it’s celebrated and something that
our city can truly be proud of.
“Whilst we aren’t quite able to announce the line-up just yet, all I can say is it
will be an event you do not want to miss! I urge people to get the date in their
diary and book their tickets as I’m sure they will get snapped up quickly.”
Early bird tickets are £3 for adults, £1.50 for concessions (12–17, over 65s,
disabled and carer) with under 12s going free. Purchase your tickets by
