Thinking of my dear friend Jason Sutton today 🤍

Some people come into your life and leave a mark that never fades, and you were one of those people. It still doesn’t feel real that you’re not here. You were so much more than Miss Jason to me, you were a true friend, someone who brought light, laughter, and comfort in a way only you could.

I find myself holding onto the memories we shared, the laughter, the little moments that meant everything. You had the kindest heart and gave so much of yourself to the people around you, never asking for anything in return.

You are missed more than words can ever say, but you are carried with me every single day, in my thoughts and in my heart.

Always loved. Always remembered. 💫

Remembering The Vivienne, a true trailblazer, icon, and champion of British drag, on what would have been their birthday 🕊️✨

From making history as the first winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK to lighting up every stage they stepped on, their wit, talent, and unmistakable presence left a mark that will never fade.

More than the crown, they gave us laughter, authenticity, and a fearless celebration of individuality, a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift.

Forever loved, forever missed, forever legendary. 🖤

The wait is over and we’re thrilled to share our big line-up drop for Brighton & Hove Pride - Official Page Pride On The Park 2026.

This year’s Pride On The Park brings together an exceptional mix of artists, led by global superstar Diana Ross and award-winning performer RAYE, two incredible headline acts set to make this a truly unforgettable weekend.

Saturday’s main stage sees Leigh-Anne and G Flip added to an already stacked lineup, while Sunday sees Diana Ross joined by Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes to Hollywood in the Sunday afternoon legends slot and Paris Hilton in the Icon slot, too hot.

In the Dance Arena look forward to standout DJ sets from The Blessed Madonna, Patrick Mason, Girls Don’t Sync and HAAi, alongside many more.

We are also delighted to welcome back some of Pride’s most loved spaces, including the Legends Cabaret Tent, Q***r Town, The Cocoa Butter Stage and Bears In The Wood - each offering something unique as we come together to celebrate.

As we mark 35 years of Pride, this year’s event promises to be bigger, bolder and prouder than ever before - a true celebration of community, music and joy.

We hope you’ll join us for this special milestone as we celebrate 35 years of The Power of Love.

closes Sunday with career-spanning classics

makes his Brighton Pride debut with an exclusive DJ set

headlines Saturday with big vocals and high energy

Self Esteem brings fearless, euphoric live performances

And organisers promise more names are still to come.
