Pink Festival

Established in 2003 we held six outdoor events in Cambridge, attracting around 10,000 people in 2010.

This is the main page for UK's Cambridge-based charity 'The Pink Festival Group' - the charity behind Cambridge Pride

https://cambridgepride.co.uk/support-us/ WHO WE ARE

Pink Festival Group is a charity based in Cambridge whose aim is to celebrate the diversity of the community through the arts, whilst making a profit to feed back into the LGBT+ charitable sector locally. We aim to rais

e awareness of issues faced by LGBT+ people, foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds and, as a result, help combat discrimination and other negative social attitudes towards LGBT+ people. Since then the Pink Festival has registered as a charity and has run events throughout the city, celebrating local artists and raising money for local LGBT charities. Follow us on Twitter: (https://twitter.com/pinkfestival)

OUR AIMS

Pink Festival aims to bring people together to celebrate and recognise the diversity within the LGBT+ community. At the heart of Pink Festival our values are to create a welcoming and inclusive environment through events which showcase music and arts whilst broadening minds and challenging stereotypes. The following are Pink Festival's Aims and Objectives

Pink Festival aims to...
- create a safe environment that brings communities together
- offer a fun and diverse experience
- be successful, sustainable and supported
- offer meaningful opportunities to be involved
- provide a variety of entertainment, art and culture
- to raise awareness and promote acceptance by challenging stereotypes
- to offer access to information and support
- be visible through the year and leave a legacy

OUR HISTORY

Pink Festival originally started life in 2003 as a one-day inclusive and accessible festival event for the LGBT+ and wider community in Cambridge and surrounding area. It evolved over the years and became a key date in the city’s events calendar. After a five year break, in 2016 Pink Festival Group became a registered charity with the intention of not only creating amazing, inclusive, LGBT+ festival events but also fringe events and to provide a network of support and social opportunities for the our community, their friends and families.

There is nothing better than seeing so many happy smiling faces and hundreds of people having so much fun and thinking "I helped make this happen" !! 😍

Come and be part of something truly great once again and help make this year's event Fabulous and Fantastic !

We are entering our final weeks before - it's full steam ahead and we need your help !

Putting on this FREE to attend event is a huge endeavour - and with costs rising within every sector, along with a drop in sponsorships, funding and donations this year, more than previously, has been incredibly challenging.

We always aim to be as transparent and open as possible, and have shared this event information (2025) to give everyone a better understanding of how much everything costs.

Costs have significantly increased from last year, and although we have funds to put on an event, we still need one final big push from as many people as possible to help us achieve that extra £££ and allow us to put on the spectacular festival you all know and love, without having to "cut any corners" !!

So! Download our Event Pack (link in profile) detailing various levels of our Sponsorship opportunities.

Please donate what you can (JustGiving link in profile).

If you are planning any fundraising events for Cambridge Pride - let us know !!

We fully appreciate times are hard for each and everyone one of us - but the team are truly committed in putting on this event and we all believe how vitally important Pride is right now, within the current social climate.

Spread the word far and wide - friends, family, work colleagues, businesses, companies etc and help us put on yet another amazing Day to Remember ! 🥳🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️🎶
