The parade is the warm-up. London Pride lands on Saturday 4 July 2026, and once the floats roll past Trafalgar Square and your feet have had enough of standing on Piccadilly, the real question is where you’re taking the night. We’ve rounded up the parties built for sapphics, dykes, queer women, trans and non-binary babes – plus the all-welcome queer raves that always pull a brilliant sapphic crowd.
Whether you want a sweaty dancefloor, a chillout booth for a DMC, or a Sunday day party to ease the comedown, here’s where to find your people after dark.
The sapphic parties
G.IRL London Pride Party 2026
The big one. G.IRL is bringing over 1,500 queer women and non-binary babes together at The Steel Yard, with your fave queer DJs playing chart hits, pop and queer classics before the lights drop and it gets a little sexier with R&B and Afrobeats. The venue gets transformed into a full queer haven: free facepaint and glitter bar, Pride photo opps, OTT decor, stage entertainment and confetti cannons throwing rainbow realness all night. Free vegan hot dogs and snacks for the first 300 through the door, so arrive hungry. The crowd is queer women, non-binary, trans masc and femme and allies – come solo, come coupled, come chaotic.
The details: Date: Saturday 4 July 2026
Time: 10pm-4am (last entry 2am)
Venue: The Steel Yard, London
Tickets: £20-£30 (earlybird sold out, last few general admission), via the G.IRL ticketing page. £2 cloakroom, card accepted

Gal Pals: Dyke Pride
Gal Pals has sold out its Pride party seven years running, so this is your sign not to sleep on it. Dyke Pride takes over EartH in Hackney for dykes, wlw, lesbians, queer and bi women, trans and non-binary people, with sexy performers, queer icons and DJs spinning pop, R&B, hip hop, disco, dance and Pride classics. Think Beyoncé, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Robyn, SOPHIE, Sugababes and a whole lot more. Upstairs there’s a chillout room with seating, quieter music, a bar and cosy booths for making out and deep chats. Welfare is handled by the Safe Only team in neon pink hi-vis, and the organisers offer free PA and carer tickets plus accessibility queue jumps – email them at least 24 hours ahead. Allies are asked to come only with friends from the community and to buy the correct ticket type.

Five spaces including two dancefloors, six DJs playing everything from house and club classics to Pride anthems and old-school R&B, plus a dedicated house music room. There’s an outdoor seated terrace for sunset drinks, comfy sofas and lounges, a Pride photo booth, and wood-fired pizza if you arrive early.
