Overview of our history:

  • 2018 Pride in Surrey was created - founded by Stephen Ireland and Charlie Watts. Plans for Surrey's first ever Pride and Parade was announced on BBC Radio Surrey on 15th August. 
  • 2019 Surrey's first ever Pride and Parade took place on August 8th in Woking, making local LGBTQ+ History.  The event at Woking park welcomed circa 7,300 visitors. In the following December a smaller Winter Pride took place at the electric theatre in Guildford.
  • 2020 Plans to bring Pride to Woking for a second year were scrapped due to the pandemic. Instead, the growing number of Pride volunteers brought Pride to all corners of Surrey with the 'Pride On The Road' tour. 
  • 2021 Pride arrived in Godalming! With a colourful Parade through the town, the park event welcomed circa 7,500 visitors. In December Pride in Surrey opened The Pride Hub in Woking, Surrey's first LGBTQ+ safe space.
