This Pride Month there are lots of events to get involved in across Wandsworth, celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community.

Whether you're looking for a street party, exhibition or quiet space to create and reflect, there are lots of events happening for Pride 2026 across the borough. 

Queer Wandsworth is an exhibition in Totterdown Street using objects, photographs, film, recorded voices, print and archive material, plus a contemporary commission by artist Luca Bosani to explore how people have found belonging and creativity across the borough.

There is also the opportunity to do a self-guided walk in the footsteps of Wandsworth’s queer history on the Queer Wandsworth: Heritage Trail where you can explore significant locations around the borough.

Alternatively, you could join a guided tour like the Queer Putney walk to learn about art and activism in the area or the Queer Battersea walk exploring protest and performance. 

There will also be a series of events in libraries around the borough, including crafts, author events and story times.

Join a creative writing workshop with Jack Strange at Balham Library and Southfields Library, or a talk from The Light of Day author Christopher Stephens.

And on Saturday 20 June Battersea Park will host Wandsworth Family Pride, featuring a series of free live performance as part of the Summer in Battersea Park festival. There's also PRIDESTRAVAGANZA, a community-led Pride celebration for Tooting and Furzedown, featuring queer performers, a DJ and entertainment. 

The council offers year-round support to LGBTQ+ residents, including signposting sources of support for young people
