Marching with Love: Pride Events in Surrey, London & Brighton…
Posted by Devenia Besant on 07 Jun 2025
June is Pride Month, which is sometimes specified as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Pride marks the celebration of the LGBTQ+ communities and their contribution within society throughout the world. Pride also serves as a platform for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to celebrate diversity and most importantly raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights and the continued importance of their acceptance within society.
The first Pride event in the UK was held in London on July 1st 1972. This was a socially historic moment displaying defiance and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. Loud and proud.
Throughout the month of June and beyond there will be a range of celebrations and events in Surrey and further afield to mark PRIDE 2025!
Here’s a list of events I have devised below:
