Bi Pride UK 2026
Kings Place, 90 York Way,, Kings Cross, N1 9AG, GBJoin hosts Alice and Aaron for Bi Pride UK! 3pm at the venue entrance.
From the Bi Pride UK website: "Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities. It’s not enough to be ‘welcome’ at a Pride. We make up a very large proportion of the GRSD (Gender, Romantic and Sexual Diversity) community – many stats actually say we’re over half the community – and we deserve to be visible and celebrated in our own right."
If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, the meeting point will be at the venue entrance at 3pm.
Address: Kings Place, Kings Cross
90 York Way, London N1 9AGThe event has a mixture of food stalls, information stalls, sellers and live performance stages with music, panels and general space to connect with the bisexual community. There is no parade.
Access:
Access information can be found here for the event.
https://biprideuk.org/accessibility-2026/Whether you use bi, bisexual, biromantic, pan, pansexual, panromantic, poly, polysexual, polyromantic, queer, fluid, heteroflexible, homoflexible, something totally different, a combination of these, or even no label at all, this event centres those attracted to more than one gender.
Whilst Bi Pride is running 2-10pm, this social will be running 3-5pm to allow people flexibility around their personal schedules on the day. Please note Kingston LGBTQ+ Forum is not affiliated with Bi Pride UK.
