2026 Pride will be grounded in:
Events
Events for All
At Project LUNA, we believe Pride belongs to the whole community. That’s why we’ve curated a program designed with you in mind. From high-energy celebrations to quiet, accessible spaces, we’re balancing "loud" and "proud" with calm, inclusive environments. We’ve prioritized accessible venues and are committed to keeping events free wherever we possibly can. Whether you're here for the party, the protest, or the poetry, there’s a place for you at Aberystwyth Pride 2026.
