Sponsor with Pride
York Pride 2026 will cost over £150,000 to deliver — and we need your support to make it happen.
We’re inviting York’s businesses and organisations to join us as proud sponsors and partners, helping us bring North Yorkshire’s largest free LGBT+ celebration to life. Sponsoring York Pride is more than a logo on a banner; it’s a statement of support for equality, inclusion, and community pride.

Why get involved?
York Pride is the largest one-day free event in York, attracting more than 20,000 attendees in 2025. With extensive press coverage both locally and nationally, the event celebrates York’s diversity and brings people together in a joyful, inclusive celebration recognised across the UK. Our social media channels extend that reach even further, engaging more than 100,000 people every year and showcasing the businesses, organisations, and community groups who make Pride possible.
By partnering with York Pride, you’re showing your employees, customers, and the wider community that your organisation stands proudly for inclusion and LGBT+ rights. You’ll be part of a city-wide celebration that unites local businesses, charities, and services under a shared message of acceptance and equality — while also gaining meaningful visibility at one of York’s most high-profile cultural events.
Supporting Pride means giving back to York and helping make our city an even more welcoming, vibrant place for everyone.
Award Winning York Pride
York LGBT Pride has become a key fixture in York’s cultural calendar, recognised for excellence and community impact. We were proud to receive both the Yorkshire Post Tourism Award 2024 and the YorkMix Choice Award in 2024 & 2025 for Best Event, voted for by the public. We were also finalists in the Visit York Awards for 2024 and 2025 and the Little Vikings Awards, highlighting our commitment to delivering an inclusive, family-friendly event that resonates with a wide audience.
These achievements underscore York Pride’s vital role in celebrating diversity, visibility, and community spirit — and they make sponsorship an exceptional opportunity to align your brand with values of inclusivity, progress, and social impact.
