Worthing Pride is an annual LGBTQ+ Pride celebration held in the town of Worthing, West Sussex, England.
The event began in 2018. It raises money for local charities.[2][3] Worthing Pride 2021 will raise money for The Treasure Basket Association, a local charity that supports the emotional wellbeing of children and families in the community.
The 2018 and 2019 parades began at the Burlington Hotel in West Worthing, moving into the town centre along the town's promenade, past Worthing Pier to the Beach House grounds near Splashpoint Leisure Centre. Crowds of around 45,000 attended the 2019 celebrations including the parade, with 5,000 tickets sold for the main event in Beach House grounds.[1][4]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event was cancelled in 2020. For 2021 it was announced that the main event in the grounds of Beach House will return, however the Pride Parade along the seafront has been cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.[5]
