London Pride watch party & Picnic @ Green Park

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride 2026! 🏳️‍🌈

We're looking forward to celebrating Pride with you all!

A huge thank you to Carl for kindly hosting our Pride gathering this year.
We'll be meeting to watch the parade before heading to Green Park for a community picnic.

📍 Pride Watch Party
St James's Church, Piccadilly
197 Piccadilly, London W1J 9LL

🕛 From 12:00 PM

The church is running Pride celebrations from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM, including:
🌈 Food & drinks
🎵 Music from drag DJs
🎨 Face painting, arts & crafts
☕ Bar, coffee and toilets
🧘 Quiet space in the church and gardens
💜 Affirmation Station
⛪ Inclusive Pride Eucharist at 6:30 PM
👀 Grandstand seating with a great view of the parade

🧺 Community Picnic
📍 Green Park
🕒 From 3:00 PM

If you can, it's a good idea to head over with the group after the parade. If you arrive later, please check the WhatsApp group for live location updates.

When entering Green Park from the roadside or Underground, you'll see a coffee kiosk/fountain. We'll usually be somewhere to the right of the main walkway, hopefully in a nice shady spot.

🤝 Pride is all about community
Please help one another throughout the day. Feel free to assist Carl by letting people know where the group is if you're already with us.

🌙 There isn't an official evening plan after the picnic, so if you'd like to carry on celebrating, you're welcome to organise something together with others.

📱 One final reminder: Mobile signal during Pride can be unreliable because of the huge crowds. Be patient, allow extra time to find people, and remember that kindness goes a long way.

💬 WhatsApp Group Etiquette
Please keep conversations in this WhatsApp group relevant to the Pride gathering. By joining the group, you're helping us make it as easy as possible for everyone to find important information and updates throughout the day.

We'd really appreciate you respecting the effort that has gone into organising the event. Conversations that aren't related to the gathering can cause important updates to be missed or create confusion for other attendees.

Happy Pride everyone! Have an amazing day and look after one another. 🏳️‍🌈❤️
