In Pictures: Swansea Pride 2025

A colourful parade through the city centre was followed by an afternoon of live free entertainment in front of the Guildhall.

Swansea Pride is organised independently but supported by Swansea Council and Elliott King, Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights and Equalities said: “I want to thank everyone who came along to watch the parade or turned out to be part of it.

“Every year our city offers Swansea Pride a warm welcome and it this time it was brilliant with wall-to-wall sunshine.”

Swansea Council leader Rob Stewart said: “It was an amazing and colourful day. The afternoon of events at the Guildhall and Brangwyn Hall were full of energy and showcased the best of Swansea. It is really important for our communities that events like this take place every year and it keeps on growing.”

Swansea Pride parade and festival returns on Saturday

Once again, the festival is free and an open invitation is extended to all.

The annual parade is set to depart from Wind Street at 11am and will make its way along Oxford Street and St. Helen’s Road to the Guildhall.

A stage will be set up in the car park at the front of the building hosting live entertainment between noon and 7pm.

There will also be food and refreshment stalls as well as traders selling a range of items and merchandise.

Just like last year, the Swansea Pride Community Zone will be indoors in the neighbouring Brangwyn Hall with lots of information stalls from organisations, support services, charities, community groups and some craft traders as well.

Swansea Pride is organised independently but supported by Swansea Council.

Council Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events and Tourism, Robert Francis-Davies said: “Once again the council is proud to be supporting the hard-working volunteers who do such a great job in making Swansea Pride the inclusive celebration that it is.

“This year is shaping-up to be as good ever and we are very grateful to them.”

Elliott King, Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights and Equalities, said: “Swansea Pride is one of the highlights of the year for the Pride community. It’s a opportunity to celebrate our city’s diversity in a carnival atmosphere of music and colour.

“The main stage will be outside the Guildhall and will offer live entertainment throughout the day.  The Brangwyn Hall will host the Swansea Pride Community Zone, with lots of information stalls from organisations, support services, charities, community groups and some craft traders as well.”

Council leader Rob Stewart, said: “This free event is one of many event  highlights  this year and there is an open invitation for people across Swansea and beyond to come along and enjoy what is always a great carnival atmosphere.”
