Parade Wristbands

To monitor overall capacity, everyone taking part in the Parade must be wearing a pre-registered wristband.
Wristbands can be obtained by anyone, in advance via the link below.
Parade wristbands also permit entry into the Pride event in Stoke Park.
Those participating in the day's events must follow our Parade Code of Conduct and Park Event Terms & Conditions, this is for the comfort, health and safety of everyone.

Wristband Prices

Each year, the cost of our Parade operations increase. From road closures, to traffic management personnel, to safety signage, Pride in Surrey annually spends around £5,500 so the parade can take place.


This year we have decided to increase our parade wristbands from £2 to £4 per a person to help cover the above costs.

Wristbands are only currently available for individuals, families, non-profit groups and charities - if you're a business and would like to join the parade, please get in touch via email.

To make the event safe for everyone, we are managing the parade capacity on a wristband basis. All wristbands will be posted out to your parade booking lead before the event date. Everyone taking part in the parade must have a wristband on event day.

I don't want to join the parade, I only want to watch it

The parade is free to watch and we welcome everyone to come along to Guildford High Street to watch and cheer on the parade.

Is the Parade route all one level?

Guildford's High Street is sloped. The Parade will be starting at the bottom and heading upwards. Unless you are wanting to use a kerb, there are no steps on the Parade route. Please note, the historic High Street is also cobbled.

The route is approximately 1.1 miles which should take around 30 minutes for each group to complete. The overall Parade should last around 50 minutes in total. We recommend you bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated.

Will there be floats in the Parade?

We have a small number of vehicles in our Parade, mainly involving emergency services. Aside from this, the Parade is predominantly walking only. We invite you to bring banners, signs and lots of rainbows!
