Leicester Pride is Leicester’s annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) festival, held at the beginning of September But! There’s much more to Leicester Pride than the one day event and, the festival will span a full nine days with a series of art, culture, sport, music and film events celebrating the great diversity of the LGBT community.

The main goal is to promote equality and diversity, advance education and eliminate discrimination in relation to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) people, in particular but not exclusively those resident in Leicester for, the benefit of the public by raising awareness in issues affecting said persons in particular by promoting and staging an annual lgbt festival and making grants and/or donations to other charitable and voluntary organisations with the object of developing an environment in favour of lgbt equality by providing information, advice and support.
