We were awarded the GOLD award on Attitude is Everything’s Live Events Access Charter in 2019 and re-awarded the Gold award in 2023 for our hard work and commitment to making Pride Cymru as accessible as possible for Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent people.

Where will the 2025 Festival be held?

For 2025, we are moving back to the location of our very first event: Coopers Field, Bute Park. This site gives us much more flexibility and our team has already started working on making sure this event is the most accessible yet!

When is the 2025 festival?

The 2025 festival is currently due to be Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd June.

40 Years On: LGBTQ+ activism and life in Wales 1985-2025

For LGBT History Month, we are celebrating 40 years of queer activism in Wales, including historical and heritage activism, since the very first Pride March here in 1985.

This project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund aims to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ history in Wales by collecting stories and artefacts to preserve Welsh LGBTQ+ history. Also, by working with community partners to support and amplify LGBT+ History Month 2025 and the importance of collecting and celebrating our past.

Upcoming

Throughout February, we will be:

Sharing stories that compare life and draw parallels and lessons of LGBTQ+ people in the 1980’s and present day.
Revising the online Lost LGBT Cardiff (Can we link to the relevant existing page on the website) map and Facebook page discussing bygone LGBTQ+ venues in the capital and activism settings from the past 40 years
Encouraging and guiding people to donate what memorabilia and artefacts about queer life in Wales they may have to archives or museums.
