Organisers for Warwickshire Pride, which is set to take place at the end of August, have announced that security measures have been increased ahead of this year’s event. In response to growing anti-LGBTQ+ hostility, the safety of the team and those who attend are their top priority organisers have assured.

The organisers of Warwickshire Pride have issued a statement, outlining changes that will be made to the event in 2026, after last year’s event experienced troubles on site that led to police attendance and subsequent arrests.

During LGBTQ+ History Month, which takes places in February in the UK, Warwickshire Pride are hosting queer history tours of Leamington Spa.
