Clapham Pride announces date, events and locations for huge 2026 celebrations

Clapham Pride has announced its 2026 celebrations, waving the rainbow flag across three locations on Saturday 27 June 2026.

The event marks more than 30 years of Pride in Clapham, with the first major celebration taking place in 1996 on Clapham Common. Clapham Pride 2026 demonstrates the growth and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.

Jeremy Keates, manager of This is Clapham BID, has been a long-standing champion of the queer community in the south-west London district. Under his leadership, the BID has collaborated with Lambeth Council and inclusive organisations for Pride Month, which continues into 2026.

“This year we’re incredibly excited to expand the celebrations across the area” – Jeremy Keates on Clapham Pride 2026

In a news release, he said: “Clapham Pride has been bringing people together for more than 30 years, and this year we’re incredibly excited to expand the celebrations across the area.”

“Thanks to the support of our local businesses, sponsors and community partners, we’re creating an event that is inclusive, accessible and showcases everything that makes Clapham such a vibrant and welcoming place,” said Keates.
