Volunteer at York Pride 2026

York Pride is made possible by the incredible people who give their time, energy, and enthusiasm to make it happen — and we’d love for you to join them.

We’re looking for friendly, reliable, and community-minded volunteers to be part of York Pride 2026. Whether you’ve volunteered before or are completely new, this is your chance to help deliver one of Yorkshire’s most loved celebrations.

What You’ll Be Doing

Our volunteers keep the day running smoothly and help create a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for everyone. Roles include greeting visitors, supporting the parade, helping with set-up, guiding guests around the festival site, assisting at Pride HQ or backstage, and providing accessibility support on key areas such as trackway routes. Every role is vital in helping to make York Pride safe, friendly, and enjoyable for all.

What’s Involved

Volunteering is flexible – you can give a few hours or stay for the whole day. Every volunteer receives a full briefing and on-the-day support, plus a York Pride wristband, drinks, snacks, and our heartfelt thanks.

Who Can Volunteer?

Everyone is welcome. We’d especially love to hear from first-time volunteers, LGBTQ+ people and allies, and anyone who wants to gain experience at a major community event.

Volunteering at York Pride is a brilliant way to meet new people, develop skills, and be right at the heart of the celebration. You’ll join a supportive team helping to deliver North Yorkshire’s largest free one-day event, which welcomed over 17,500 people in 2025.
