All you need to know about the Peterborough Pride event this weekend

The action kicks off on Saturday, July 19, with the lively march setting off from Stanley Park (PE1 1SZ) at 1pm.

Unlike previous years, this year’s main event takes place at the Embankment (PE1 1EF) – in order to accommodate the growing number of participants and supporters.

Another new addition for 2025 is the ticketed festival section of the event – which kicks off at 4pm with a host of vibrant local, community and professional acts to entertain crowds.

Alongside the stage performances there will also be a huge array of stalls – with around 30 for visitors to browse.

Chair of Peterborough Pride, Teddi the Drag Queen, said: “Things are now in full swing and we are very excited.

“We are now just praying for good weather.”

While some thundery showers are forecast for Saturday, the temperatures will remain pleasantly warm - with dry spells expected in the evening.
