Reading Pride

Reading Pride is the Berkshire town's main Pride day. It is held in early September rather than June and has been running for more than 20 years. The festival is called Love Unites.

In the morning a free parade leaves from Reading Station and goes through the town centre. Around noon the festival opens at Kings Meadow, the riverside park on the Thames, with live music, drag and speeches. The park is a short walk from the station, which makes it an easy day trip from London.

The 2026 edition took place on Saturday 5 September. We found no attendance figure for it. The 2027 date hadn't been announced when we checked.
