Pride will return to the Smithfield site once again
Birmingham Pride will remain at the Smithfield site in the city centre despite previous reports it was set to take place in the Gay Village district.
The festival has taken place at the Smithfield site for the previous four years, with organisers believing 2025 was the last at the site before a major development begins.
According to ITV News, permission to use a site in the Gay Village which would have held 7,000 people has been refused, with the city council confirming the festival will once again be held at the Smithfield site.
Dates
Birmingham Pride 2026 is scheduled to take place on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2026.
Time: Event begins at 11:00 AM, Parade sets off at 12 noon.
