Additional Information
London we're back!
Our most loved event returns for its 10th anniversary. Featuring our flagship Pre Pride Party, marching in London's Pride Parade and the highlight of the weekend, our Survivors Bottomless Drag Brunch!
We are going back to our roots, focussing on networking opportunities, celebrating with friends and family new and old. This event is open to everyone whether you're a regular or first timer and encourage you to spread the word. Everyone is welcome and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
Accessible for All
This year to keep everything accessible and affordable for all, we are moving to host both our Friday and Sunday events at The Exhibit, Balham. A central location with quick connections to Soho on the northern line, the area has cheaper accommodation for the weekend and is well connected via the trains. We hope you'll enjoy our weekend at The Exhibit as much as we do!
Volunteer with Us
Our events run on volunteers! This year we're seeking individuals to help us run these events through various roles across the weekend. In return we're offering a discount on your weekend tickets. Check out this link before buying tickets.
Pre Pride Party
Friday 3rd July - from 19:00
We're back to our roots for our Pre Pride Party, with a focus on opportunities to connect with the APUK community over some light entertainment and great food and drink. Registration includes two drinks tokens and a selection of fresh artisan pizzas. Hosted in the secret garden there's plenty of space to relax, catchup and enjoy the night - including our performance from the fabulous Son of a Tutu!
London Pride Parade
Saturday 4th July - from 12:00
Now more than ever, visibility matters. Join Aviation Pride UK as we take to the streets of London Pride, celebrating our vibrant LGBTQ+ aviation community! We will be marching the streets, showcasing the colours of the industry whilst partying and celebrating with the millions of attendees.
Two ways to take part:
🚌 Ride the Fabulous APUK Open Top Bus – A new design this year - an open top double decker bus! A limited number of tickets are available for our bus, where you’ll enjoy refreshments, music, and unbeatable views as we dance our way through the parade. Plus you can hop on and off throughout the parade.
🚶♂️ Walk alongside us – March with the APUK crew, wave the flag for inclusivity, and feel the energy of the crowd up close.
Survivors Bottomless Drag Brunch
Sunday 5th July - from 13:00
Back for our second year, this event is the highlight of our weekend! Join Son of a Tutu and Irene Bru battle it out over free flowing cocktails and a delicious brunch. Whether you’re recovering from the night before or just looking for one last chance to celebrate, this is the perfect way to close out the weekend in true APUK style!
