What is Merton Pride about?

Merton Pride is more than an event: it’s a celebration of who we are as a borough..

Welcoming to All

Everyone deserves to feel at home in Merton, no matter who they are and who they love. We want all members of the LGBTQ+ community, including trans and non-binary people and LGBTQ+ people of colour, to feel safe and welcome in local spaces. Merton Pride is about celebrating our diversity, not just today but every day of the year.

Rooted in Local Communities

We believe that real inclusion starts at the local level. By fostering new connections between LGBTQ+ people, neighbours, allies and many more, Merton Pride makes our communities stronger and kinder.

United for Equality

Merton Pride involves a broad and diverse range of local groups, businesses, unions, sports clubs and residents. It is a testament to our collective commitment to dignity, safety, and equality for all LGBTQ+ people, here and everywhere.
