Pride in the City

Pride in Newcastle Gateshead 2

Pride in the City, formally known as Northern Pride, is Newcastle's annual Pride celebration, and 2024 was the biggest and best yet, welcoming a whopping 82,000 people to the city. Taking place 19th - 21st July, celebrations took over every corner of Newcastle under this year's theme of 'unapologetically visible'.

The Pride in the City 2024 arena saw Times Square in Newcastle's city centre, transformed into the best party the city has seen. Hosted by Ophelia B, DJ sets from the likes of clubland icon DJ Fat Tony and Hits Radio presenter James Barr and more, really got the crowds of thousands into the groove.

 Areas across the city were a hive of colourful activity with free satellite events, workshops and live performances for the whole family to join in. A full programme of queer art and culture took place at Northern Stage, the Market Village took over Greys Monument, and 16,500 took part in the iconic Pride march through the city.

Pride in the City will be back once again in 2025. Watch this space for updates!
