Paul Kemp, Managing Director for Brighton & Hove Pride comments: 

“We are thrilled to welcome Hayu as a proud supporter for this year’s Pride on the Park. The event  promises to be spectacular with over 150+ LGBTQ+ artists performing across the weekend and, with  Hayu’s support, we’re able to create an even more vibrant and meaningful celebration for our incredible  community and allies.” 

Olga Puzanova, SVP Marketing for Hayu & International Direct-To-Consumer at NBCUniversal comments: 

“We are so excited to be the headline partner of Brighton Pride 2025! At Hayu, we champion self expression, inclusivity and being unapologetically yourself. We know that the LGBTQIA+ community are  big supporters of Hayu, and we can’t wait to celebrate in Brighton this August.” 

In addition to the main stage event, Pride on the Park features a line-up of over 150+ LGBTQ+ artists across the weekend, hosting an array of diverse and inclusive stages, immersive experiences and  entertainment zones across the park including Queertown, The Cocoa Butter Stage, The  Pleasuresome, Legends Cabaret Stage and more. Master of music, TV and fashion, Gok Wan will  headline this year’s Pleasuredome stage, which will also see performances from Russell Small,  Beefmince, Wildblood & Queenie + many others.  

Kick-starting the weekend, the annual and much-loved LGBTQ+ Community Parade returns under this  year’s theme of Ravishing Rage. Ravishing Rage is more than a parade, it’s a celebration of  resilience, spirit, passion and unity. Be louder than ever, shine brighter than before, dance in  protest and march in celebration because fury never felt so fierce! The parade will wind through the  city in spectacular colour and style, delighting the thousands of people who take to the streets to watch  the event which showcases over one hundred LGBTQ+ charities, community groups and small  businesses, our invaluable emergency services, the NHS and representatives of other Pride  organisations. 

Firmly established as the UK’s most popular international Pride festival, Brighton & Hove Pride is as  famous, vibrant, popular, and unique as the city itself. Brighton & Hove Pride’s sole ethos is to promote  diversity, inclusion and education within our communities while raising much needed funds for our local  LGBTQ+ charities, community groups and projects.
