Maidstone Pride Needs Your Help to bring Pride back for 2026.

In June 2024, something colourful and incredible happened. Maidstone Pride burst onto the scene, bringing the very first Pride Parade to the County Town of Kent. The Town’s first pride saw five hundred of us, marching together, side by side, filling the streets with colour, love, and unity. It was powerful. It was unforgettable.

Last year (2025), we expanded Pride into a month-long celebration! As a collective of LGBTQIA+ people and allies in the county town, we were able to come together, host events, workshops, safe spaces, and share moments of pure joy that will be remembered for a lifetime. Because everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and included, without fear of rejection.

We're back, back, back again for 2026... but we need your help!

Your donations will help us cover event costs, marketing, hiring incredible LGBTQIA+ artists and performers, decorating the town with Pride window and street displays, and covering essential operational costs. Every penny goes directly into making Maidstone Pride bigger, better, and more accessible for everyone.

We’re asking for your support, whatever you can give. Your spare change, the cost of a coffee, the price of a nice bottle of wine - it all makes a difference. Every single donation helps us create a Maidstone that truly reflects diversity, acceptance, and love. Whether you’re an LGBTQIA+ individual or an ally, your support helps create a safer, more vibrant community for all.

This is your Pride. Your Town. Your chance to make history once again!

Donate today and help us make 2026 even more magical.
