Liverpool's Pride 2025 - We all made it happen

Liverpool’s Pride 2025 Report

Liverpool’s Pride 2025 was a moment when our city stood tall together. In just seven weeks, our community, partners and allies achieved something extraordinary. We reclaimed Pride for Liverpool in a way that was authentic, inclusive and rooted in the people it represents.

This year, we proudly called it Liverpool’s Pride with an apostrophe and an “s” because this Pride belongs to all of us. It was Liverpool’s moment to come together, celebrate loudly, stand proudly, and reclaim our Pride with love, resilience and joy.

Community Power in Action

Liverpool’s Pride 2025 was not created by a single organisation. It was built by hundreds of people, groups and collectives who stepped forward with energy, creativity and commitment. Over seven weeks, what emerged was an organic movement, held together by mutual respect, solidarity and a shared determination to make Pride happen.
