Whether you're part of a group or an individual champion of equality, ALL are welcome to join our biggest ever procession. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Meet us at Southsea Beach Cafe from 11 am! - Let's make history together! 🗓️✨
The Route
The Parade Route begins at the registration point and will tail back to The Canoe Lake Car Park. Led by a group of vehicles, a drum band and a group carrying our Pride Flag, the parade passes key landmarks along Southsea Seafront including South Parade Pier,
The Pyramids Centre, Southsea Castle, The D-Day Museum, and Blue Reef before turning into Southsea Common, finishing the 1.3-mile route at the Main Stage which the tail-end of the parade is expected to reach before 1.30pm.
Please ensure that you follow the official route and any instructions given by the Marshalls and Parade Team. Throughout the route, we are expecting members of the public to spectate from the pavement, and many may choose to join us.

Do I need to Register to Join the Parade?
Anyone is welcome to join the Parade as an individual or small group on the day. If you need space for 10+ people as part of a company, group, or organisation please register in advance on the link above.
How accessible is the Parade Route?
Our route is almost completely flat with a total elevation of -14ft/mile and all crossings use dropped kerbs, but not all have tactile paving.
The final section of our route is on the grass of Southsea Common as we enter the main Pride site. Our walking speed is expected to be slow/leisurely at 1.5 miles per hour (2.5 kilometres per hour.)
If anyone in your group has a particular accessibility need which is not included in this information, please get in touch.
Pre-Pride Breakfast
Before the Parade, why not grab a quick breakfast at The Gaiety Southsea on South Parade Pier, only 100m from the start of our Parade.
The Gaiety Southsea is the ideal place to arrange to meet your group, fill your water bottles, use the toilet and get a bite to eat or a coffee before we start.
