But who is she?!
She's a free, community-led celebration of love, diversity, and togetherness.
What is Bowes Park Pride?
Bowes Park Pride is a free, community-led celebration of love, diversity, and togetherness right in the heart of our neighbourhood. On Sunday 5th July 2026, Myddleton Road transforms into a vibrant street festival with live music, performances, local food, family activities, and so much more as part of Myddleton Road Market, but this time with a fabulous Pride twist.
We believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, seen, and celebrated. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply someone who loves a great street party, Bowes Park Pride is for you.

Bowes Park Pride is a registered Community Interest Company — a not-for-profit structure that puts community benefit at the heart of everything we do.
Who We're Here For
Our primary focus is LGBTQIA+ people living in Bowes Park, Bounds Green and the surrounding areas of North London — particularly those who may experience social isolation, underrepresentation, or limited access to inclusive local spaces. We're also here for the whole neighbourhood: residents, local businesses and community organisations who share our belief in a more visible, connected and welcoming N22.
Community Events & Social Spaces
We organise and deliver inclusive LGBTQIA+ community events throughout the year — from social mixers, quiz nights and cultural gatherings to our flagship annual Pride celebration on Myddleton Road. These events create safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect, build relationships and feel a genuine sense of belonging in their own neighbourhood.
Local Partnerships & Community Development
We work hand in hand with local venues, businesses and community organisations to develop and sustain inclusive programmes and community-led initiatives. By strengthening local networks and fostering collaboration, we're building something that lasts well beyond one day a year.
