Basingstoke Pride 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark event, bringing together the community to celebrate love, inclusivity, and the vibrant LGBTQ+ culture. Following the success of its inaugural event in 2024, this year's Pride promises to be even bigger and bolder, reflecting the town's growing commitment to diversity and acceptance.

Scheduled for August 16th at the Amphitheatre, Festival Place, Basingstoke Pride will feature a colorful parade starting at the Festival Place amphitheatre and weaving through the town before culminating in a day of festivities. The event will include live performances, music, arts and crafts, and a variety of stalls, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for all attendees.

Headlining the event is Victoria Scone, a trailblazing drag queen and the first cisgender female contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Her presence underscores the inclusive spirit of Basingstoke Pride, celebrating the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community.

The organizers, Basingstoke Pride CIC, have worked tirelessly to ensure that this event is not just a celebration but also a platform for fostering understanding and unity. Their efforts highlight the importance of creating safe spaces where everyone can feel valued and respected.

As Basingstoke Pride continues to grow, it serves as a powerful reminder of the progress being made toward equality and acceptance. It is more than just an event; it is a testament to the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and an invitation for everyone to join in the celebration of love and diversity.
