Pride in Coalville returns to Coalville Park this August
Pride in Coalville is back for 2026, with the free community event returning to Coalville Park in Leicestershire on Saturday 1 August.
This year's headliner is Donna Marie, a multi-award-winning Lady Gaga tribute act whose internationally acclaimed show has performed at Pride events including London, Brighton and Zurich, and has even caught the attention of Lady Gaga herself. Donna Marie will bring her replica costumes and live vocals to the Coalville main stage for what organisers are promising will be an unforgettable headline set.
The full day of entertainment will also include drag performances, live music, local LGBTQ+ organisations, community groups, stalls, food vendors and family-friendly activities. New for 2026, a dedicated children's entertainment area will be hosted by Jeddy Bear and Gary, nominees at both the Leicester Comedy Festival and UK Kids Comedy Festival.
Keiran Lee-Ridgway, Director and Lead Event Organiser of Pride in Coalville CIC, said: "Pride in Coalville is about bringing people together and creating a space where everyone feels welcome and celebrated. As times are becoming tougher for our LGBTQ+ community, particularly our trans community, it's important that we come together and support one another."
The event is free to attend and open to everyone. Organisers are also inviting local businesses, stallholders and volunteers to get involved ahead of the day.
