This year the University of Sussex is once again a proud partner of Brighton and Hove Pride, the UK’s biggest Pride celebration. It’s a bold, beautiful and brilliant celebration of inclusivity, with our community coming together to fundraise, have fun and campaign for LGBTQ+ equality.

The University is delighted to be taking part in the Pride Community Parade on Saturday 6 August with a walking party. We invite current students, staff and alumni to join us in the Parade – and if you take part, you’ll also receive a free weekend ticket to enjoy Fabuloso in the Park at Brighton and Hove Pride on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August.

With headliners including Christina Aguilera, Paloma Faith and Jake Shears it promises to be an incredible event!
