A £20,000 donation from Barratt Homes helped keep Leicester Pride free for visitors at Abbey Park on 5 September 2026.
Leicester Pride was free for visitors at Abbey Park on 5 September 2026 after a £20,000 donation from Barratt Homes, according to inyourarea.co.uk. The housebuilder’s contribution helped organisers put on the annual celebration for thousands of visitors.
The 2026 event marked the 18th year of Leicester Pride. As well as the celebration in the park, a parade travelled through the city centre. It began at Curve Theatre and passed through streets including Humberstone Gate and Gallowtree Gate, before continuing through Jubilee Square, High Street and Belgrave Gate.
