University celebrates five years of Chichester Pride sponsorship 

From the very first festival in 2021 to the newly featured parade that began in 2024, the University of Chichester is celebrating its sponsorship of Chichester Pride for the past five years.  

Supporting the festival again in 2026, this year’s Pride (held on 23 May) will see music from acts including Britain’s Got Talent finalist Eva Iglesias as well as Steps and Ariana Grande tributes. It will also feature comedians, a silent disco and market stalls, promising to be a fun day out for everyone.  

Chris Rogers, co-chair of the University of Chichester LGBTQ+ and Allies Staff Network, said: “The University of Chichester is proud to sponsor Chichester Pride for the fifth year running and support Chichester’s LGBTQ+ community. The university prides itself on being a diverse, inclusive and supportive environment where we encourage our staff and students to be their authentic selves. 

“We are excited to be part of the ever-growing parade and celebrate the diversity of both our university and the wider community across Chichester.”
