Milton Keynes Pride Festival began in 2019, created to provide a visible and inclusive space for the local LGBTQ+ community. What started as a new event for the city has grown into a large-scale festival, welcoming thousands of attendees each year.

Built through the support of volunteers, partners and the wider community, Pride has developed into a key moment in the Milton Keynes calendar. As the festival has grown, it has remained focused on what matters — creating a space for connection, representation and community.

Despite its growth, Milton Keynes Pride Festival remains free to attend. This commitment continues to shape the festival today, ensuring it stays accessible, inclusive and reflective of the people it represents.
