Warrington town centre will host a full day of community celebrations on Saturday, 13 June 2026, as the annual Pride event returns. We Are Warrington BID officially announced the event on 6 May 2026, marking another year of festivities dedicated to inclusion and local talent.
The celebration will begin with a parade departing from Time Square at 12 noon. The procession will travel through the town centre, arriving at Golden Square by 12.30pm. This marks the fourth year that the shopping centre has hosted the event, which serves as the primary location for the day’s entertainment.
The main stage will be situated at Old Market Gate, with the entertainment programme coordinated by Drew’s Dirty Disco. A new addition to the 2026 festivities is the GS Drag Superstar competition, which invites local artists to compete for a 30-minute performance slot at next year’s event. The festival maintains a grassroots ethos, with all performers donating their time and talent for free.
Organisers are working closely with Cheshire Police to ensure the event remains a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors. The celebration is supported by a coalition of local organisations, including Culture Warrington, Warrington Borough Council, LiveWire, the University of Chester, Warrington Market, Youth Zone, United Utilities, and the Land Trust.
