Make a splash with Oxford Pride this summer! Join us for five free, inclusive swimming sessions at the heated Hinksey Park open-air pool between June and August 2026. Created especially for LGBTQIA+ people and allies, the Big Swim offers a welcoming, safe, and celebratory space to enjoy the water, connect with the community, and have fun. Advance booking is required as spaces are limited.
Every year, thousands of people come together for Oxford Pride – the vibrant centrepiece of the Oxford Pride Festival. It’s a day to celebrate visibility and love in all its forms, right in the heart of our beautiful city.
Oxford Pride Day is about more than celebration; it’s about diversity, solidarity, and creating a city where everyone can live freely and authentically. It’s a joyful, inclusive event that welcomes all ages, identities, and backgrounds.
Our Pride Day and the Festival wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers and supporters. Whether you want to march in the parade, perform on stage, host a stall, or help on the day, your contribution makes a difference.
Applications are now open for retailers, charities, community organisations, and parade groups. Apply today to be part of Oxford Pride 2026!
Volunteering with Pride is a great way to contribute, meet new people and for you to be a part of all that Pride means. Whether you want to know about the organising team or how you can help at one of our events we would love to hear from you.
If you are from a business or organisation that wants to look at corporate volunteering with us, we would be thrilled to chat – drop us an email at volunteer@oxfordpride.uk
