London Dyke March set to return to the capital this June
London’s Dyke March is officially returning in 2026, with organisers announcing the comeback on 17 March via Instagram. In a post, the official @dyke_march account declared: “Summer is on the horizon and you know what that means? We’re gearing up for London D¥ke March 2026.”
The protest is scheduled for 20 June, with organisers promising more details in the months ahead. In the meantime, they are inviting community groups, individuals keen to organise blocs, and those interested in stewarding to get involved and support preparations.
“We’ve got much more to come… Keep an eye out for our upcoming fundraiser parties and merch drops soon! Love and rage, The LDM team,” they added.
Although described as entering its “third” year, this iteration of the London Dyke March is both a revival and a continuation of a longer legacy. It builds on the marches held in 2012 and 2013, themselves inspired by the longstanding Dyke March traditions that originated in the United States.
Proudly trans‑inclusive, the march positions itself firmly against efforts to weaponise lesbian identity and amid the backdrop of global attacks on queer rights. Its return signals not only a celebration of dyke visibility but a renewed show of solidarity across the LGBTQ+ community.
More updates are expected soon as organisers gear up for what promises to be a powerful and defiant day of protest.
