LGBTQIA+ Britain

An LGBTQIA+ showcase

Why Britain's best for LGBTQIA+ travel

From the northern reaches of Scotland, to England’s southern coastline, there’s no shortage of LGBTQIA+ celebrations in Britain. Packed with parties, you’ll be singing your heart out at a fiercely energetic drag brunch, or strutting around the streets waving the flag for love during a Pride Parade. Pick up a queer novel from Britain’s oldest gay bookstore, Gay’s the Word, or dive into LGBTQIA+ film festival BFI Flare – whether you’re there for the party, or wanting a snippet of queer culture, we’ve got you covered.

With over 50 years of celebrating Gay Pride, from the first parade in London in 1972, it’s clear Britain is a nation shining a light on love, inclusivity and freedom. For bold celebrations that break the mould, hit up our cities during Pride Month and throughout the summer. Stride into Britain’s most diverse and biggest Pride in London, look to Brighton for world-famous music superstars and drag artists, or discover two days of non-stop entertainment in Birmingham. So what are you waiting for? There’s never been a better time to embrace the nation with a whole lot of LGBTQIA+ love.
