Marketplace
The UK Pride 2026 marketplace is a key part of our pride day celebrations, bringing together community groups, charities, creatives and independent businesses in the heart of Newport.
The marketplace was a huge success last year, and we are excited to welcome it back for uk pride 2026 with returning partners and additional locations available across the city.
About the marketplace
The marketplace is a space for organisations and traders to connect with the community, share information, showcase their work and celebrate pride together.
Stalls will be located across central Newport, including the Kingsway area, with a limited number of additional locations available. While we cannot guarantee specific stall placements, we will always do our best to accommodate needs where possible.
The marketplace is proudly delivered as part of UK Pride 2026, hosted by Pride in the Port.
