🌈 New Forest Pride is BACK in 2026! 🌈
New Forest Pride is here! With support from Culture in Common and brilliant local partners, we’re taking over Forest Arts Centre on Friday 17 & Saturday 18 July for a joyful two-day celebration in New Milton.
Expect an inspiring programme of comedy, music, spoken word, theatre, drag and cabaret, alongside workshops, participatory sessions and stalls from amazing local organisations and sellers. This year’s programme is proudly community‑curated, shaped with local LGBTQIA+ residents and with special involvement from Breakout Youth groups in New Milton and Matchwood.
We’re delighted to announce that internationally loved comedian Sam Nicoresti will open the festival – and we’ll be sharing the full programme very soon.
