Across the Moorlands!

Join us for a spectacular weekend as we light up the Staffordshire Moorlands with pride and joy! 

Pride in the Moorlands will return this June with a weekend-long celebration of our local LGBTQ+ community.

Join us from Friday 26th June to Sunday 28th June 2026 for a vibrant, community-led weekend of events across towns, villages and community spaces throughout the Moorlands.

Staffordshire Moorlands Pride 2026 aims to create a welcoming, joyful and inclusive celebration — not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for allies, families and neighbours across the region.

Bring the Pride Torch to your community

The Staffordshire Moorlands Pride Torch is on the move again, and we’re looking for amazing locations to host it! This is your chance to celebrate and make the LGBTQ+ community visible in your town, village, or neighbourhood.

We’re inviting local groups, schools, community centres, businesses, and individuals to apply for the Pride Torch to visit your area and receive up to £250 to help host inclusive activities. Whether it’s a picnic in the park, a silent disco, drag storytelling, a rainbow slide, crafts, a dance event, or afternoon tea, we want to hear your ideas for bringing people together in celebration!

Find out more and apply here. 

 

Help shape Pride in the Moorlands 2026

Everyone is invited to our next meetings to organise a Pride event for the Staffordshire Moorlands this summer after the success of last year’s event!

If you are from the Moorlands and have any ideas for a future Pride event, we want to hear from YOU! You don’t need any previous experience, this meeting is for anyone who is part of the LGTBQ+ community, along with those who are keen to support this community, who want to make something wonderful happen for, and with the local people.
