Ryde

Join in the celebration of diversity and equality at Isle of Wight Pride! This exciting event kicks off on Saturday with a colourful parade starting at 11 am in Ryde.

Led by a sea of rainbow flags, the parade will wind its way through the streets, culminating in an afternoon and evening of fabulous entertainment at the Pride Community Village on the Esplanade.

From drag queens to live music and stalls from local businesses, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

The town of Ryde itself couldn’t be better suited to its role of host, with glorious beaches on which to party, tranquil beauty spots in which to relax and plenty of places to eat and drink. Get there in just 22 minutes on our Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head route.
