✈️🚌 The travel industry is showing up for Pride! ✈️🚌

We’re proud to announce that Nexus, Newcastle Airport, British Airways Flying Proud and Stagecoach are partnering with Newcastle Pride 2026, helping to connect communities and ensure this year’s festival is accessible, inclusive and welcoming for all.

As we celebrate under the theme City of Hope. Streets of Joy, these partners are helping thousands of people travel safely and sustainably to Pride events across Newcastle while supporting our commitment to creating a festival where everyone feels valued, represented and free to be themselves!

Nexus joins as our Official Host Partner, Newcastle Airport becomes our Official Accessibility Partner, British Airways Flying Proud supports the Trans+ Stage programme, and Stagecoach comes on board as Official Travel Partner, helping make Pride more accessible for visitors travelling from across the region, the UK and beyond.

Together, they’re helping us build a Pride where connection, visibility and belonging are at the heart of every journey!

Newcastle Pride is in a jam, and we need your help 🫠

When we started in December, we promised to listen to our community and be open and honest. Today, we want to share where things stand.

We’re now just two months away from Pride weekend. With six months less planning time than usual, rising production costs, delays caused by the local elections, and reduced sponsorship, we’re facing a £10,000 funding gap.

This year’s theme is City of Hope, Streets of Joy, and we need your support to help bring it to life with a safe, high-quality Pride that our whole community can be proud of.

Here’s how you can help:
✨ Donate via our JustGiving
🧁 Host a bake sale in your office or workplace
🏳️‍🌈Head to our linktree to find more ways to support: www.linktr.ee/newcastlepride.uk
📣 Share this post far and wide

You’ll find all the links and ways to support in our bio
Together, we can ensure Newcastle Pride continues to bring visibility, hope, joy, and celebration to our incredible community.

Thank you 💜
