HARLOW is set to burst with colour as Harlow Pride 2025 returns on Saturday 18th October, from 12pm – 6pm at Passmores Academy. This free, family-friendly event celebrates love, equality, and diversity, bringing the whole community together for a day filled with entertainment, performances, and fun for all ages.

This year’s Pride promises a fantastic Main Stage line-up, including headline acts Ruby Violet, the dazzling drag queen sensation, and Maddie Cole, the UK’s ultimate Chappell Roan Tribute Act. The stage will also feature performances from a host of local talent including Harlow Ballet, Hip Hop Pop, Harlow Steel Band, KD Academy, Razed Roof, Ava Warren, Harlow Playhouse Panto Stars (Jimmy Burton-Iles & Ben Parsley), HATS, and a showcase of drag artists such as Maiden China, Jade O’varts, Miss Mental, and Dolcé Dior.

Beyond the main stage, visitors can enjoy the Acoustic Stage hosted by Harlow Rock School, live music throughout the day, a Family Pride Zone organised by Parenthood of Harlow with story time and children’s activities, and the Dragonfly Wellness Zone, offering wellness workshops and relaxation sessions.

The event will also feature a wide range of local market stalls, community groups, and a food court serving delicious options including Chicken Strip, Caine’ Pizza, Fish & Chips, Ice Cream, and treats from Mayfield Bakery. A licensed bar provided by Harlow Playhouse will also be available throughout the day.
In a new step towards accessibility, Harlow Pride has partnered with Aviva Bus Company to provide shuttle bus services between Harlow Town Centre and Passmores Academy, ensuring more people can join the celebrations with ease.

Leigh Murphy & Daniel Bell, Event Organisers, said: “Harlow Pride is so much more than a celebration – it’s about community, visibility, and belonging. Pride gives us the chance to stand together, to show love and acceptance, and to make sure everyone feels seen and valued.

We’re so proud to bring such a joyful, inclusive event to Harlow once again. With amazing performances, local talent, family fun, and our new partnership with Aviva Bus Company improving accessibility, this year’s Pride really is for everyone.”
