As a charity our purpose is to make nature, beauty and history part of people's lives. Pride and support for LGBTQ+ communities is part of our mission to make sure everyone feels welcome in everything we do.
Throughout the summer, Pride events are where many people who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies celebrate and commemorate years of the struggle for civil rights.
We're attending more than 25 LGBTQ+ Pride events across England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2026. We also host events at the places we look after that celebrate LGBTQ+ communities and histories.
Pride is a hugely important event for hundreds of thousands of people all around the world – part-celebration, part-protest and, for many, a chance to be visible. It’s an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come as a society and acknowledge the work still to be done.
The best part was seeing a spectator waving her National Trust membership card at us as we paraded past. She was so proud to see us there!
Being part of Pride is a way to introduce ourselves and our work to more people. Through sharing LGBTQ+ stories at the places we care for, walking in parades to celebrate LGBTQ+ with communities and colleagues, and giving out free entry passes to National Trust sites at events, we're encouraging everyone to feel welcome at the National Trust now and forever.
